Palmar dislocation of the trapezoid with coronal shearing fracture: case report

Ryan P Calfee et al. J Hand Surg Am. 2008 Nov.

Abstract

We report an unusual variant of a palmar trapezoid dislocation with a shearing fracture of the dorsal cortex treated with mini-fragment screw fixation. This patient's treatment is compared to the few previously published reports of palmarly dislocated trapezoids to assist hand surgeons facing this uncommon injury.
