Abstract EN
We report a rare case of dislocation of second to fourth carpometacarpal (CMC) joints of the right hand with combined dorsal and ulnarward displacement of the second to fourth digits and fracture of the shaft of the first metacarpal associated with degloving injury.
These injuries were diagnosed early and treated successfully with closed reduction and internal fixation using Kirschner wires.
The functional outcome was good at follow-up at 5 years.
A high index of suspicion is required to successfully diagnose and treat this condition.
