Isolated Volar Dislocation of the Fifth Carpometacarpal Joint.

Conclusion: Solitary dislocations of any CMC joint are less common than simultaneous dislocation of multiple CMC joints, especially at the fifth CMC joint with volar dislocation. Because of the potential long-term adverse effects of untreated dislocations, these injuries must not be overlooked. Thus, patients presenting to the emergency department after traumatic injury involving an axial loading force to the hand should be carefully evaluated. PMID: 32612479 [PubMed]
