Journal Title: Journal of Orthopedics & Bone Disorders - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
The post-traumatic dislocation of the fifth finger is a rare lesion. In the absence of treatment, this lesion results in joint degeneration and instability. This lesion is usually unstable, treated by open, Closed. We report the case of a carpal-metacarpal dislocation isolated palmar pure in a boxer, clinically the patient presented a disturbance of rotation of 15° with a shortening of 5 mm. The standard radio graphy showed a palmar dislocation of the base of the 5th Metacarpal with a diastasis between the 4th and 5th metacarpal. The patient was treated with a parallel insertion of the M5M4M3 after reduction of the dislocation with closed focus and immobilization plastered for 45 days.
