Avascular necrosis of the metacarpal head named as "Dieterich disease" is a very rare condition. Because of the lack of information about the natural course and treatment of this disease, the ideal treatment has not been established as yet. We report a case of avascular necrosis that occurred at the 3rd metacarpal head after fractures of the 4th and 5th metacarpal base; this was treated conservatively and obtained the spontaneous resolution.
