Abstract
- An avulsion fracture of the second metacarpal base by the extensor carpi radialis longus is rare. There have been only 7 reports (in 10 patients) of this injury in the literature. We report upon a case of avulsion fracture of the second metacarpal base, which was treated successfully by open reduction and internal fixation.
