Abstract
Carpometacarpal dislocations of the fingers of ulnar side of the hand are a relatively uncommon injury. They are documented largely by reports of single cases or group of small cases [1] Diagnosis of this unusual form of injury requires high index of suspicion, careful examination and good radiography. Dislocations at the finger carpometacarpal joints are usually high-energy injuries seen commonly in boxers and motorcyclists [2]. Considerable swelling of the back of the hand may mask the characteristic hump at the root of the hand. The diagnosis can be easily missed due to other serious injuries. These injuries account for less than 1% injuries of hand and are frequently overlooked or missed. Disability of the hand is severe in untreated or in those where treatment is delayed.
