Measurement of the radiographic anatomy of the small and ring metacarpals using computerized tomographic scans

Conclusion Normal anatomic parameters of metacarpals are based primarily on radiographic data, and as such are limited due to bony overlap in the lateral plane, as well as imperfect radiographic projections that are known to distort anatomical relationships. This novel method of image reconstruction eliminates metacarpal overlap and defines precise anatomical reference for metacarpals.
