Summary:

Radiopaedia case ID: 35951
Image ID: 744
Modality: Annotated image
System: Musculoskeletal
Findings: This is a radiograph of a normal hand and the metacarpal sign is absent. In other words, a line drawn along the heads of the 4th and 5th metacarpals does not intersect the head of the 3rd metacarpal. This is normal. If shortening of the 4th metacarpal is present then the line will intersect the head of the 3rd metacarpal.
