Fracture-dislocation of the fifth metacarpal base is a common intra-articular injury and has been dubbed the reverse Bennett fracture. A direct blow to the ulnar border of the hand tends to cause an extra-articular fifth metacarpal base fracture.
Due to the relatively large forces required to break a metacarpal bone, a metacarpal fracture is often seen in association with other injuries to the wrist or fingers such as joint sprains, dislocations or other fractures of the hand or wrist.
