Abstract:
Carpometacarpal dislocations occur in less thsn 1% of osseous hand injuries. Sine Dec. 1987, two cases of multiple carpometacarpal dislocations were treated at Hanyang University Hospital. All of these were successfully treated by closed reduction and percutaneous pinning with K-wires. Follow-up periods were 6 months and 5 months respectively. All patients were asymptomstic, but one patient had occasional discomfort and diminished grip strength.
