Dislocation of the Hamatometacarpal Joint: About a Rare Case

Elghoul Naoufal, Mohamed Zaaf, Abdeloihab Jaafar

Abstract


Pure isolated dislocation of the hamatometacarpal joint is extremely rare. Herein we reported a rare case of pure isolated dislocation of the fifth carpometacarpal joint which was successfully treated surgically. Although, the hamatometacarpal dislocations are uncommon and frequently missed, a high index of suspicion combined to adequate radiological assessment usually ascertain the diagnosis.
