Malrotation due to metacarpal fracture

Malrotation due to metacarpal fracture
The axes of the fingers normally converge when the MCP and PIP joints are both flexed. In this photograph, while the second, third, and fourth fingers converge as they should, the fifth does not. The divergence of the fifth digit is the result of a fifth metacarpal shaft fracture complicated by malrotation.
MCP: metacarpophalangeal; PIP: proximal interphalangeal.
