Bennett’s fracture is a fracture dislocation at the base of the thumb. A fracture dislocation of the thumb is not uncommon in boxers, rugby players, American football players and football goalkeepers. Specifically, a Bennett's Fracture refers to a fracture of the Metacarpal (thumb) bone at the joint surface with the Carpal (wrist) bones. Due to the position of the fracture fragment, there is some dislocation of the joint.

starting as independent contractor/need help!
Subject: starting as independent contractor/need help!
I'm going to be able to return to work very part time since my disability is getting a bit better. I have an offer to work as an independent contractor, probably not making more than 12 grand per year.
This will be my first time being a contractor and I'm boggled after reading the IRS info on the site. Do I need to file for a taxpayer ID# or can I just use my Social Security number? I think I can wade through paying the taxes, etc, but may have an accountant do this initially.
Thank's in advance, Becca.
