Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Trapezium fractures are rare injuries which should not be taken casually. We report a case of a 30 year old left hand dominant housewife who sustained a left sided closed transverse trapezium fracture without any carpometacarpal joint dislocation which was treated with closed reduction and Percutaneous External Fixation, a technique. Two frames were made and connected with the help of a connecting rod. Satisfactory functional outcome was achieved at final follow-up.
