Projectional radiography ("X-ray") of fracture of the thumb:
Classification
Metacarpal
- Intra-articular fractures
Bennet's fracture: A fracture of the base of the first metacarpal bone which is intra-articular, extending into the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint.[1] It is the most common type of fracture of the thumb, and is nearly always accompanied by some degree of subluxation or frank dislocation of the carpometacarpal joint.
Rolando fracture: A comminuted, Intra-articular fracture fracture through the base of the first metacarpal bone.[2])
- Extra-articular fractures
Avulsion fracture at the insertion of the ulnar collateral ligament
- Epibasal thumb fracture, or pseudo-Bennett fracture: Fracture of the proximal part of the first metacarpal, where it is important to exclude intra-articular involvement.[3]
