Abstract
Carpo-metacarpal dislocations are a rare lesion, we report a case of palmar carpo-metacarpal dislocation of the fourth and fifth finger, treated urgently by reduction and stabilization with closed-focus pinning. Post-operative immobilization with an intrinsic splint was performed for six weeks, with rehabilitation starting in the fourth week. Functional outcome was satisfactory.
