Abstract:
Fractures of the base of the second metacarpal are infrequent events compared with those of the first or fifth metacarpal. Furthermore, these fractures are often difficult to visualize on standard radiographs. There is controversy regarding the management of such fractures. Two case reports and a discussion of this entity are presented.
