The capitate bone.

The fourth metacarpal bone articulates with the fourth proximal phalanx in the hand.

The third metacarpal bone of a horse is called the cannon bone or shin bone. The canon bone is the major support bone of body weight.

Metacarpal bones

A common fracture of the fifth metacarpal bone of the hand is often referred to as the "Boxer's Fracture." The fifth metacarpal is the bone in the hand that attaches to the pinky finger.

An osteotomy on the fingers metacarpal is a surgical procedure where the bone in the metacarpal of a finger is cut and reshaped to correct deformities or improve function. It is commonly done to correct conditions like arthritis or fractures that affect the metacarpal bone. The procedure aims to realign the bone and restore proper function and alignment in the finger.

Metacarpal bones

The third metacarpal bone of a horse is called the "cannon bone." It is located between the knee and the fetlock joint and is essential for weight-bearing and locomotion.

The metacarpal bones in the palm of the hand carry and support the hand. There are five metacarpal bones in each hand that connect the fingers to the wrist.

The proximal phalanx of the thumb is immediately distal to the first metacarpal. In other words, the bone of the lower thumb connects to the first metcarpal.

The longest bone in the human hand is the metacarpal bone, located between the wrist and the fingers.

The name of mid hand bone is metacarpal. These are five in number in each hand.

Metarcarpals

I think carp stands for metacarpal, but I'm not 100% sure.

A "boxers" fracture generally refers to a fracture of the metacarpal bones-more commonly the fith metacarpal anywhere between mid shaft and the distal(knuckle) end of the the bone.

The metacarpal bone is a long bone, not a short, flat, or irregular bone. It forms the middle part of the hand between the wrist and the fingers.

A fracture of the distal fourth or fifth metacarpal is a broken bone in the hand, just below the ring finger or pinkie. The broken bone is in the bones that form the back of the hand. "Distal" in this case means located nearer the knuckles than the wrist.

Each metacarpal bone consists of a base, a shaft, and a head. The base attaches to the carpal bones in the wrist, the shaft is the long middle portion of the bone, and the head connects to the phalanges in the fingers.

The metacarpal bones connect the wrist bones (carpals) to the bones in the fingers (phalanges). They form the middle part of the hand between the wrist and the fingers.

Metacarpals is the intermediate part of the hand skeleton. Follow this link to see a diagram: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Metacarpals_numbered-en.svg

A cannon bone is a horse's third metacarpal or metatarsal bone, located between the knee or hock and the fetlock joint. It is a weight-bearing bone that helps support the horse's body. A cannon bone is essential for a horse's movement and stability.

The joint between the trapezium bone and the first metacarpal bone is called the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. This joint provides mobility and stability to the thumb, allowing for important movements such as opposition and grasping. It is a saddle joint with complex movements that facilitate the thumb's wide range of motion.

It is known as the thumb basal joint, also known as the carpometacarpal joint. It is a special

saddle-shaped joint that is formed by the small wrist bone and the first of the three bones in the thumb.

The extensor carpi ulnaris muscle inserts into the base of the fifth metacarpal bone and the pisiform bone in the wrist.

The medical term for the joint at the base of your thumb is the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. The CMC joint connects the metacarpal bone of the thumb to the trapezium bone in the wrist. This joint is crucial for the thumb's range of motion and overall hand function.

**Watch for documentation as to location of fracture site

The proximal phalanx is distal to the metacarpal for each of the five fingers. It is farther from the base of the hand than the metacarpal.

The metacarpals articulate proximally with the carpals. In particular, the first metacarpal articulates with the trapezium. The second articulates with the trapezium, trapezoid, and capitate. The third articulates with the capitate. The fourth articulates with the capitate and hamate. The fifth metacarpal articulates with the hamate.

The mid hand bone refers to the metacarpal bones in the hand, which are the long bones located between the wrist (carpal bones) and the fingers (phalanges). The human hand has five metacarpal bones, one for each finger. These bones provide structure and support to the hand and allow for flexibility and movement.

The second largest tarsal bone is the Talus.

The trapezium (a carpal bone) and the first metacarpal (that goes to the thumb) form the only two saddle joints in the human body.

The fifth metacarpal is proximal to the little finger.

The CMC joint, short for carpometacarpal joint, is located at the base of the thumb where the metacarpal bone of the thumb articulates with the trapezium bone of the wrist. This joint allows for movements like opposition and rotation of the thumb.

The pollux, or thumb, is lateral to the fifth metacarpal in anatomical position. The pinkie is medial to the thumb.

The metacarpal bones are proximal to the fingers. They are closer than the fingers to the origin of the hand.

The metacarpal bones in the hand are among the easiest to break due to their location and exposure to direct trauma. These long bones are vulnerable to fractures from impact or excessive force, such as punching or falling onto an outstretched hand. Immediate medical attention is recommended if you suspect a broken bone in your hand.

Patelle

The metacarpophalangeal joint in the thumb gives it its range of movement. This joint is located between the thumb's metacarpal bone and the proximal phalanx bone. It allows for flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction of the thumb.

The bones in your palms are called metacarpals. You have five metacarpal bones in each hand, which connect your wrist bones to your fingers.

The Femur is the largest bone in the body. The second largest is the Tibia

That all depends on what you compare it to. In strict anatomy language, a bone that is longer than it is wide is a long bone. But even if it's a "long bone" by definition, it's still fairly short in everyday terms - particularly when compared to the femur for instance.

the metatarsals are long bones, despite the name. short bones look like cubes, at carpal and tarsals

You should tape a bruise as long as it takes for it to heal. This somewhat depends on which metacarpal is affected.

Yes, it is possible to break a bone in the palm of your hand, such as the metacarpal bones or the bones in the wrist. These injuries can occur from falls, direct trauma, or excessive force placed on the hand. Treatment typically involves immobilization and possibly surgery, depending on the severity of the break.
