"Thumb carpometacarpal joint volar dislocation: A case report "

Abstract

Dislocation of the thumb carpometacarpal joint is a rare injury, and only 38 cases have been definitively described in the English-speaking literature. All the reported dislocations have been dorsal. We present a volar form of the thumb carpometacarpal dislocation which was managed surgically after three months from the injury with open reduction and volar ligament reconstrction, with satisfactory outcome.
