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.
There are two common fractures of the metacarpals. 1  Boxerâs fracture â A fracture of the 5th metacarpal neck. 2  It is usually caused by a clenched fist striking a hard object. 3  The distal part of the fracture is displaced posteriorly, producing shortening of the affected finger. Metacarpals â There are five metacarpals, each one related to a digit. 2  Phalanges (Most distal) â The bones of the fingers. 3  Each finger has three phalanges, except for the thumb, which has two.
