In dogs, the metacarpal bones are numbered 1 to 5 from medial to lateral; metatarsal bones are numbered 2 through 5. A first metatarsal may rarely be present. Each bone consists of a proximal base, a body, and distal head.Metacarpals and metatarsals 2 through 5 articulate with the carpal or tarsal bones proximally and their corresponding phalanges distally.n one study, six of eight dogs with metacarpal/metatarsal fractures due to motor vehicle trauma had additional fractures or orthopedic injury. Potentially life-threatening conditions often accompany major trauma and must be managed before injuries to the metacarpals or metatarsals are considered.
