Abstract
Conclusion. - Chronic osteomyelitis of the metacarpals is exceedingly rare but results in severe functional incapacitation and major social and economic burdens. Our case illustrates an unusual pattern with involvement of two metacarpals in the same hand. An early diagnosis followed by prompt treatment increases the likelihood of a favorable outcome.
