Line 17:
The '''third metacarpal bone''' ('''metacarpal bone of the [[middle finger]]''') is a little smaller than the second.
 
The dorsal aspect of its base presents on its radial side a pyramidal eminence, the [[styloid process]], which extends upward behind the [[capitate]]; immediately distal to this is a rough surface for the attachment of the [[extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle]].
 
The carpal articular facet is concave behind, flat in front, and articulates with the capitate.
