Carpometacarpal ligaments converge at the base of the metacarpal. Only very violent trauma can cause carpometacarpal dislocation.
We report the case of a 23-year-old patient admitted for volar dislocation of the 4th and 5th finger with radial displacement. We did proceed to a closed reduction maintained by a splint the evolution was satisfactory with the recuperation of grip force.
The mechanism of the injury can be direct or indirect. The displacement can suggest is there or not a complete rupture of the carpometacarpal ligaments.
After closed reduction, the treatment can be surgical (which is preferred) with k-wire fixation or nonsurgical with splint immobilization with a close follow-up to avoid the loss of the reduction.
