Accident And Emergency Radiology A Survival Guide – Nigel Raby (1)

The most common of these pseudoepiphyses occur in the head of the 1st (thumb) metacarpal (left and right) and at the base of the 2nd metacarpal (centre and right). Unless the possibility of an accessory epiphysis is considered, particularly at the base of the 2nd metacarpal, then a normal developmental variant may be read as an undisplaced metacarpal fracture.
