Case Presentation: A 56-year-old, right-hand dominant male patient presented to clinic the day after injuring his left hand. X-rays showed an oblique, displaced fracture of the left fifth metacarpal neck. Nonoperative and operative treatment options were discussed with the patient. Given the amount of shortening and radial translation present at the fracture site, reduction and operative fixation were recommended.
