The metacarpal bones are the long slender bones which connect your wrist to your fingers and are roughly at the level of your palm. There is one metacarpal for each finger. Fractures are “breaks” or “cracks” in the bone, usually due to trauma. In severe injuries, multiple metacarpals can be fractured.
Is a metacarpal a finger?
1 You have five metacarpal bones, one for each of your fingers. The metacarpal bones support the hand, and the end of the metacarpal bone forms the knuckle on the back of your hand. Other bones in the area include the phalanges (the fingers) and the carpal bones (the wrist).
Is it easy to break a metacarpal?
Metacarpal fractures are surprisingly common, and are exactly what they sound like: a break in one of the hand bones.
