Summary
Multiple carpometacarpal joint dislocations from low energy trauma are rare. This case report details successful surgical treatment using open reduction and internal fixation, restoring function.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Trauma Care
- Hand Surgery
Background:
- Carpometacarpal (CMC) joint dislocations are uncommon injuries.
- Multiple CMC joint dislocations are particularly rare, especially following low-energy trauma.
- Understanding the biomechanics and management of these injuries is crucial.
