306 for Unspecified fracture of fifth metacarpal bone, right hand is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
The Fourth Metacarpal Bone (os metacarpale IV; metacarpal bone of the ring finger) is shorter and smaller than the third. The base is small and quadrilateral; its superior surface presents two facets, a large one medially for articulation with the hamate, and a small one laterally for the capitate.
wristThe metacarpals are long, thin bones that are located between the carpal bones in the wrist and the phalanges in the digits. Each is comprised of a base, shaft, and head.
A boxer's fracture is a break in the neck of the 5th metacarpal bone in the hand. It usually happens when you punch an object at a high speed. Symptoms of a boxer's fracture include pain and swelling of the hand, limited range of motion of the pinky finger, and misalignment of the finger.
Each metacarpal bone consists of a body or shaft, and two extremities: the head at the distal or digital end (near the fingers), and the base at the proximal or carpal end (close to the wrist).
The metacarpals of the fingers make up the bone structure of most of the hand. They are all similar in shape and have joints in the wrist on one end, and the finger at the other end. The index and middle finger metacarpals have very little motion, while the metacarpals of the ring and little finger move much more.

metacarpal, any of several tubular bones between the wrist (carpal) bones and each of the forelimb digits in land vertebrates, corresponding to the metatarsal bones of the foot. Originally numbering five, metacarpals in many mammals have undergone much change and reduction during evolution.
The second metacarpal bone (metacarpal bone of the index finger) is the longest, and its base the largest, of all the metacarpal bones.
First Metacarpal Joint/bone The first metacarpal bone is associated with the thumb. The joints between the carpals and the metacarpals are known as carpometacarpal joints. The joints between the metacarpals and the proximal phalanges are known a metacarpophalangeal joints.
