Description: Metacarpal fractures are common injuries. Metacarpal fracture nonunions are uncommon because of the support provided by adjacent metacarpals, but can be a difficult problem following high energy trauma. This series of pictures document the difficulty of treating a middle metacarpal nonunion following a gunshot injury.
