Abstract

The index and middle carpometacarpal joints are more stable joint than other carpometacarpal joints in the hand and concomitant dorsal dislocation of these 2 joints is very rare in the literature. We treated a case of concomitant dorsal dislocation of the second and third carpometacarpal joints caused by a fall from a height with closed reduction and percutaneous k-wires fixation and followed up for 13 months resulting a good range of motion.
