The CMC joint of the thumb allows a wide range of motion while maintaining stability for grasp and pinch. [ citation needed ] With this in mind, failure to properly recognize and treat the Bennett fracture will not only result in an unstable, painful, arthritic CMC joint with diminished range of motion: it will also result in a hand with ...

[6] Common fractures to the thumb metacarpal include Bennett's fracture and Rolando's fracture
