Avulsion fracture of the second metacarpal base by the extensor carpi radialis longus

H Takami et al. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg. 1998.

Abstract

An avulsion fracture of the insertion of the extensor carpi radialis longus tendon is rare. There have been only five reports of this injury in the literature [1, 2, 4]. We describe an additional case in which open reduction with internal fixation gave a satisfactory result.
