One of our more commonly seen fractures is the appropriately named “Boxer’s fracture.” This results from punching objects, usually a wall, sometimes another person’s face. The hand is broken at the neck of the pinky metacarpal bone, just before the big knuckle. One recent sufferer from this injury is a young man who I know well. However, he did not punch a wall, or a person’s face. No, he punched his friend’s butt. Yes, that’s right. I thought I’d seen it all. All I know is, I wish my butt was firm enough to cause hand fractures, but sadly, punching it would barely result in a sprain.
