  • Title: Carpometacarpal dislocation of the thumb associated with fracture of the trapezium.
    Author: Kose O, Keskinbora M, Guler F.
    Journal: J Orthop Traumatol; 2015 Jun; 16(2):161-5. PubMed ID: 24671487.
    Abstract:
    Carpometacarpal dislocation (CMC) of the thumb associated with fracture of trapezium is an extremely rare injury, with only 12 cases that sustained similar injuries reported in the literature. In this article, another patient with this rare injury was reported, and all previously published cases were extensively reviewed. The presented case and all previously published cases had a longitudinally oriented trapezium fracture, which is naturally unstable and almost always associated with dislocation of the CMC joint. In contrast to previous descriptions, we believe that CMC joint dislocation and trapezium fracture are not two distinct pathologies that occur simultaneously by chance but share cause and consequence.
