  • Title: Palmar Dislocations of the 5th Carpometacarpal Joint: Case Report of a Rare Injury and Review of Published Cases.
    Author: Lim Z, Sebastin SJ.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Asian Pac Vol; 2020 Sep; 25(3):368-372. PubMed ID: 32723045.
    Abstract:
    Isolated palmar dislocation of the 5th carpometacarpal joint (CMCJ) is a rare injury that can be easily missed and requires a high index of suspicion to detect. We report a case of an initially missed isolated ulnopalmar dislocation of the 5th CMCJ and a summary of other published case reports comparing methods of fixation and outcomes. We conclude that a delay in diagnosis will significantly reduce the chances of successfully managing this injury via closed reduction.
