The absent fifth metacarpal
J Hand Surg Am.
1981 Jul.
Abstract
Although many patterns of metacarpal abnormalities have been described, the congenital anomaly of complete or partial absence of the fifth metacarpal has not been well defined. This article reports on seven patients with longitudinal partial or complete absence of the fifth metacarpal with the ulna and the three phalanges of the little finger present.
