Abstract

Osteonecrosis of the metacarpal head is rare and of unknown cause. We describe a 17-year-old girl with osteonecrosis of the fourth metacarpal head and a mutated prothrombin 20210A gene, which suggests a possible relation between a hypercoagulable state and osteonecrosis of the metacarpal head.
