Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Pure carpo-metacarpal dislocations are rare. Untreated, they could result in instability and early degenerative joint disease. We report the case of a 32-year-old man who suffered a closed dorsal dislocation of his third, fourth and fifth carpo-metacarpal joints. Patient underwent closed reduction dislocation by simply pulling on the axis with direct pressure on the bases of the metacarpalsand subsequent K-wire fixation. The hand was immobilized in a forearm plaster cast for 6 weeks followed by rehabilitation. At 1 year follow-up, patient had no pain and returnedto his pre-injury activity level without any discomfort.
