Management of carpometacarpal joint dislocations of four fingers on ulnar side
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics Surgery - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Carpo-metacarpal dislocations of the fingers of ulnar side of hand are a relatively uncommon injury. They are documented largely by reports of single case or groups of small cases1 . Diagnosis of this unusual form of injury requires high index of suspicion, careful examination and good quality radiographs with appropriate views. Dislocations at the finger carp metacarpal joints are usually due to high energy trauma seen in road traffic accidents2 . Considerable swelling of the back of the hand may mask the characteristic hump at the root of the hand. The diagnosis can be easily missed due to other serious injuries. Such types of injuries account for less than one percent injuries of hand and are frequently overlooked or missed. Disability resulting from such injuries in untreated or delayed treatment are severe in nature.
