Abstract

The carpometacarpal dislocations are rare injuries. The authors report two cases of dorsal carpometacarpal joint dislocations of the ulnar two fingers, treated by closed reduction and fixation with percutaneous Kirschner-wires. A plaster splint with the wrist in neutral position was applied for six weeks. Active physiotherapy of the fingers was started from four weeks after surgery, with a satisfactory result.
