Fracture dislocation in the ulnar carpometacarpal joints. Open reduction and pinning--a case report.
Eight patients with fracture dislocations in the four ulnar carpometacarpal joints were treated with open reduction and pinning. All patients could return to work some 2 months after operation. Follow-up after 3-5 years was carried out in 7 of the 8 patients. One complained of slight clumsiness and ache over the incisional area, whereas the other 6 were free from symptoms and had normal hand function.
