We report the functional and radiographic results of 16 patients with fracture-dislocations of the ring and little finger carpometacarpal joints and 23 cases with fracture-dislocations of only the little finger carpometacarpal joint treated between 2006 and 2012. The above two cohort populations of patients were treated with either open reduction and pin fixation or closed reduction and pin fixation. These patients were followed for a mean of 13 months (range 9 to 48). The DASH scores for patients with fracture-dislocations of the ring and little finger carpometacarpal joints were 6.0 and of the little finger carpometacarpal joint 7.2. We found no functional differences in term of DASH scores after treatment between patients with fracture-dislocations of only the little finger carpometacarpal joint and both the ring and little finger carpometacarpal joints. Level of evidence: IV

Three cases are reported in which open reduction and internal fixation were required to stabilize an unstable first carpometacarpal joint with simultaneous fracture of the trapezium and Bennett’s fracture. The results were good in terms of range of movement and radiological appearance, all of them returning to normal activities, including heavy manual work.

Three cases of hamato-metacarpal fracture-dislocation with fracture of the shaft or base of the fourth metacarpal and dorsal dislocation of the fifth metacarpal are described. In one case this was associated with coronal fracture of the hamate. An oblique radiograph of the hand with the forearm pronated 15° and 45° provided a good view of the extent of the fourth and fifth carpometacarpal injury. Treatment with open reduction and internal fixation achieves good clinical results.
