You would think that kick boxing classes would be safe! Not really........ A 'Boxers Fracture' is a break in the hand at the "neck" (just below the knuckle) of either the fourth or fifth metacarpal (ring or little finger). It gets its name because this injury commonly occurs when punching an immovable object with a closed fist. ... Instant pain coupled with hand swelling. If you should have any hand pain while working out you should have it checked out by an orthopedic hand surgeon. Www.mydrcook.com
