This study provides crucial metacarpal morphometry data for the Indian population using CT scans. Findings reveal the second metacarpal is longest, with men generally having larger dimensions, aiding fracture treatment optimization.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Anatomy
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Metacarpal fractures are common, necessitating precise anatomical knowledge for effective treatment.
  • Conventional radiographs limit accurate metacarpal morphometry assessment.
  • Computed tomography (CT) offers superior visualization for detailed anatomical analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish precise morphometric data for metacarpals in an Indian population using CT scans.
  • To compare these findings with existing international literature.
  • To provide data that can optimize surgical fixation techniques for metacarpal fractures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of CT scans from 100 Indian hands (50 male, 50 female).
  • Inclusion criteria: complete metacarpal visualization; exclusion criteria: trauma, deformity, pathology.

  • Measurements performed using RadiAnt DICOM Viewer for anteroposterior and lateral views.

    • Main Results:

    • The second metacarpal was consistently the longest across both genders.
    • General length pattern: 3rd > 4th > 5th > 1st metacarpal.
    • Males exhibited larger metacarpal dimensions than females, with minimal sex differences in intramedullary diameter; the 4th metacarpal had the narrowest medullary cavity.

    Conclusions:

    • This study offers essential metacarpal morphometric data for the Indian population, crucial for surgical planning.
    • The consistent length of the second metacarpal and general size dimorphism between sexes are key findings.
    • These anatomical insights can refine surgical approaches and guide future orthopedic research.
