Question

Which nuckle is known as Boxers' Nuckle?

Answer 1

i think it is the 5th nuckle (5th metacatpal) if you hit something hard you may get a boxer's fracture--broken 5th nuckle

Answer 2

it is a term for a condition due to repeated damage to the tendons in the knuckle due to hitting with the same part of the hand. it usually happens on the 2nd or 3rd finger. it sounds like what I deal with when I am rock climbing a lot.

a boxers fracture is breaking the bone between the wrist and the pinky (done that one too). Due to over extension during the swing and hitting with the pinky knuckle

Answer 3

BOXER’S KNUCKLE
Description
Boxer’s knuckle is characterized by pain and weakness over the knuckle of the hand due to injury of the tendons that straighten the joints of a finger. The extensor tendon attaches the forearm muscle to the bone that straightens the fingers. This injury involves a tear of the tendon or the tissues that hold the tendon in position. This problem most often occurs in the knuckle of the 2nd or 3rd fingers. Boxer’s knuckle is usually due to a direct blow or repeated blows to the knuckle, such as with boxing or martial arts. This results in a tear of the extensor tendon, the tissues that help hold the tendon in place, and occasionally injury to the tissue that surrounds the knuckle joint. This condition usually heals with splinting or surgery.

Complications include: an inability to straighten finger, finger stiffness, tendon rupture prolonged healing time, if usual activities are resumed too soon, and recurrence of symptoms and/or repeated injury.



Common Signs and Symptoms
Pain and tenderness over the injured knuckle

Weakness or inability to completely straighten the finger under its own power

Full passive motion of the finger (can be straightened)

Swelling and warmth of the injured finger over the knuckle

Risks
Sports that involve contact or hitting with the hand, such as boxing or martial arts

Poor physical conditioning (strength and flexibility)

Previous or concurrent injury to the knuckle

Previous or untreated knuckle sprain

Treatment
Initial treatment involves splinting, icing and elevation to reduce swelling. Medications may be given for pain. If splinting is the treatment, this is for variable periods. Often, surgery is recommended to repair the injured tissues. After surgery, the joint is immobilized with a cast, brace, or splint to allow the tissues to heal. After immobilization (with or without surgery), stretching and strengthening of the injured and weakened joint and surrounding muscles (due to the injury and the immobilization) is necessary. This may be done with or without the assistance of an occupational or physical therapist or athletic trainer. Return to punching is allowed after full range of motion and normal strength are achieved, usually after 4 months.
