[An unusual displacement fracture of the 1st metacarpal bone. Apropos of a case reviewed after 3 years].
An unusual fracture of the base of the first metacarpal with in contrast with Bennett's fracture displacement of the thumb and avulsion of the Abductor Pollicis Longus tendon is described after a "Rugby" trauma. Immediate repair and stabilization of the injured structures followed by specific rehabilitation, produced a satisfactory result with normal function of the thumb three years after the injury.
