Abstract

Fracture-Dislocations of the ulnar carpometacarpal joints is an uncommon injury. The priorities of management of other more extensive injuries often delay definitive treatment. If such a dislocation is diagnosed early, it can be reduced easily by closed means. We reviewed one case of fracture-dislocation of carpometacarpal joints excluding thumb with stable and pain free carpometacarpal joints in one year after closed reduction and internal fixation.
