Isolated Spiral Fracture of the Right Fourth Metacarpal: “Power Drill Kickback Fracture”—A Distinct Fracture Pattern Caused by a Specific Mechanism of Injury

This study identifies a unique occupational injury mechanism producing an isolated spiral fracture of the right fourth metacarpal shaft in construction workers using power drills. Recognizing this pattern can aid clinicians in instituting effective conservative management and underscores the need for improved occupational safety training and preventive strategies.
