Abstract
The metacarpal bones provide a bridge from the wrist to the fingers, and thus, can be affected by injuries to the hand. While many of the same fracture patterns that affect adults can also affect children, the treatment algorithms are frequently different, and knowledge of specific treatment protocols will help ensure timely healing with minimal effort.
