Image - markup to show where fracture is?

The text is too medical (I won't call it jargon for the uninitiated to figure out just which bone is broken. Could someone edit the image to highlight where the fracture is? I'm guessing it's in the middle horizontally and 20% up from the bottom vertically. Gamekeeper's Thumb has an arrow, which is the sort of markup I'm talking about. -- stillnotelf is invisible 14:06, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mechanism of injury

Added car crashes as a common cause of Bennett's fractures. I suffered one to my right thumb when I crashed into a concrete utility pole base in 1989. My orthopedic surgeon was the person who identified it as a Bennett's fracture, and attested to the common nature of the injury. It required surgery to repair.
