title: [Osteosynthesis for fracture of the trapezium. One case (author's transl)].
abstract: Fractures of the trapezium are rare but their clinical and radiological features are perfectly known. By contrast, their treatment (orthopaedic or surgical) is less clearly defined. The authors wished to make their contribution to the study of this fracture by presentation of a case of fracture-dislocation of the 1st radiation of the hand. Such lesions are generally unstable and require osteosynthesis. In the present case, the latter was facilitated by the use of mini-screws which made it possible to begin physiotherapy almost immediately and to obtain an excellent result.
