Fracture-dislocation of the fifth metacarpal base is a common intra-articular injury and has been dubbed the reverse Bennett fracture. A direct blow to the ulnar border of the hand tends to cause an extra-articular fifth metacarpal base fracture.
Fractures of the metacarpals and phalanges constitute approximately 10% of all fractures. Metacarpal fractures account for 30-40% of all hand fractures. Fractures of the fifth metacarpal neck alone account for 10% of all fractures in the hand. The lifetime incidence of metacarpal fractures is approximately 2.5%.
