Background: The fracture of the fifth metacarpal neck (also called a boxer’s fracture) is the most common fracture of the hand. Displaced fractures often end in volar angulation of the metacarpal head, shortening, and residual malrotation. Although many fractures can be treated conservatively, surgery is indicated in patients with excessive volar angulation, relevant shortening, or rotational deformity.
