Abstract
We report the case of a 19-year-old male soldier, who sustained stress fractures of the hamate body and fourth metacarpal base due to his daily knuckle push-up routine in the military. We introduce repetitive microtrauma due to daily knuckle push-ups as an unusual, but potential trauma mechanism for metacarpal and carpal stress fractures.Entities:
