A case of an isolated volar dislocation of the second and third carpometacarpal (CMC) joints in an 18-year-old man is described. He presented following a game of rugby unable to move his hand or wrist. He was managed by manipulation and K-Wire fixation. Hand function was excellent following wire removal and mobilization. This is an extremely rare injury, easily missed. The mechanism of injury described leads to comparison with the Lisfranc injury of the foot.
