94% long fingers, p < 0.0001). Conversely, fifth metacarpal fractures were the most common metacarpal fractures, and 100% of patients who had TAM score data recorded for this fracture had a “good” functional outcome ( n = 17) upon discharge. Fracture Classification Oblique fractures appeared to have inferior outcomes compared with transverse or SH injuries, although this did not reach statistical significance (oblique: 64% [18/28], transverse: 85% [64/75], SH: 79%, 13 [ p = 0.063]).
