Isolated avulsion fracture of the index finger metacarpal is rare. There have been only a few noted in the English literature. A review of literature shows that these injuries occur as a result of avulsion of the tendon of extensor carpi radialis longus. In our report we present a case of such an avulsion injury where the proximal fragment was pulled about 2 cm down. The patient was treated conservatively with early mobilisation.

Fracture avulsion injuries of the extensors of the wrist are not common. The most common mode of injury is forced flexion of the hand and wrist with Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus (ECRL) contraction at the same time. These fractures are generally managed by Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) along with repair of the ECRL tendon. This modality of management is associated with less chance of complications, makes the joint more stable and has an overall positive result.
