Abstract:
McWharter first described volar carpometacarpal dislocations of the fifth digit in 1918. Since then, 14 cases have been reported in the medical literature. Berg and Murphy were first to report a case of ulnopalmar dislocation that was successfully treated with closed reduction and immobilization. Previously reported cases required internal fixation with or without open reduction. We report a fifth carpometacarpal ulnopalmar dislocation, treated with closed reduction and casting.
