    Avulsion fractures at the base of the index finger or long finger metacarpals are rare. We found six cases in the English language of a similar injury involving the extensor carpi radialis brevis. All were treated surgically. We describe an isolated avulsion fracture injury of extensor carpi radialis brevis insertion treated satisfactorily without surgery. The patient healed uneventfully and returned to normal pain free activity.
