| Oblique or even transverse fractures of the shaft or base of the metacarpals can occur in one or more metacarpals. |
| This specimen consists of a nearly complete tail, the right forelimb complete through the metacarpals, both sternal plates, and both ischia. |
| Nondisplaced fractures of the base of the metacarpals are treated with immobilization in a short arm cast. |
| Radiographs showed no fracture of the wrist, metacarpals or other bones. |
| These bones are the right size and shape, and in the right position, to be provisionally identified as metacarpals. |
| The tendons are inserted either into the corresponding extensor tendons or onto the metacarpals. |
