  • Title: Dislocation and fracture-dislocation of the carpometacarpal joints.
    Author: Jebson PJ, Engber WD, Lange RH.
    Journal: Orthop Rev; 1994 Feb; Suppl():19-28. PubMed ID: 8196963.
    Abstract:
    Dislocations and fracture-dislocations of the carpometacarpal joints are rare. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, careful examination, and appropriate radiography. Treatment is controversial and is based upon the injury pattern and the surgeon's experience and preference. This article reviews the pertinent anatomy, mechanism of injury, evaluation, and treatment of patients with carpometacarpal joint injuries.
