<prompt> False about 1st metacarpal isShoest and stoutest of all metacarpalsDoes not aiculate with any other metacarpal boneRotated medially through 90 degrees with respect to other metacarpalsThe base is occupied by a condylar aicular surface for trapezium  <response>: The base of the 1st metacarpal bone is occupied by a convexo-concave ave aicular surface for the trapezium. It is the shoest and stoutest of all metacarpal bones. The first metacarpal bone is rotated medially through 90degrees relative to other metacarpals.
