- The treatment plan included six weeks of immobilization followed by an early rehabilitation protocol to aid recovery.
Article Abstract
Isolated trapezio-metacarpal joint dislocation is a rare injury. Despite being simple to reduce, there is not yet a consensus regarding how to secure the reduction, the type of immobilization, and the postoperative protocol. Herein, we present a rare case of pure trapezio-metacarpal joint dislocation without any associated fractures that was treated with closed reduction and intermetacarpal fixation, six weeks of immobilization, and an early rehabilitation protocol.
