Case: A twenty-two-year-old male patient presented to our trauma center after a motor-vehicle accident in which he sustained multiple injuries, including a volar dislocation of the hamate and ipsilateral scapholunate dissociation. Following closed reduction of the hamate dislocation, open reduction and stabilization of these carpal injuries was undertaken two days post-injury via a dorsal approach. Percutaneous Kirschner wires were used as well as two mini suture anchors to repair the scapholunate ligament. The patient was immobilized for six weeks and Kirschner wires were removed at twelve weeks postoperatively.
Conclusion: To our knowledge, hamate dislocation with scapholunate dissociation and its surgical treatment have not previously been described. Successful surgical treatment for this injury pattern may be performed dorsally via direct reduction and repair of the scapholunate ligament with percutaneous pinning of the affected carpal bones.

A 27-year-old man sustained right ring and little finger proximal interphalangeal joint fracture dislocations. He subsequently underwent bilateral hemi-hamate autograft to treat these intra-articular injuries. The patient was followed periodically and demonstrated return of normal grip strength and radiographic union of the hemi-hamate reconstruction arthroplasties.

Article Synopsis
- Dislocations of the fourth and fifth carpometacarpal joints (CMCJs) are rare and often misdiagnosed, leading to delayed treatment strategies.
- A 29-year-old male experienced chronic CMCJ dislocations after initially being misdiagnosed with a contusion, requiring advanced imaging for accurate diagnosis.
- Successful treatment involved open reduction and ligament repair with mini anchors, resulting in full recovery of function and only mild discomfort after eight months.
