Simultaneous dislocations of the interphalangeal and carpometacarpal joints of the thumb: a case report.
A case of simultaneous dislocations of the interphalangeal and carpometacarpal joints of the thumb after a fall is described. We believe this is a unique situation not reported before in the literature. The results of operative intervention of the open IP joint and closed CMC joint dislocations resulted in a stable pain-free thumb with a good range of motion.
