Carpometacarpal Fracture-dislocations

Dislocation
Start date: November 2, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Fracture-dislocation of the carpometacarpal (CMC) joints of the ring and little finger are the most affected CMC joints and the dislocation may be accompanied by other hand injuries. Fracture-dislocation of the CMC joints of the ring and little finger are extremely mobile because of their saddle shape anatomy and loose ligamentous attachments. Missed and incorrect diagnosis is very frequent in metacarpal base injuries of the hand and results in impaired function and weak grip. In these lesions immediate reduction is imperative. Treatment options for these injuries include non-operative management, closed reduction with Kirschner wire fixation (K-wire) and open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF). In chronic CMC fracture-dislocations ORIF is mandatory. Although operative treatment is recommended in the literature in fracture-dislocation of the CMC joints of the ring and little finger, other authors, in specific cases, performed conservative treatment through immediate reduction and splint immobilization and this treatment can be sufficient.
