title: [Dislocation fracture of the base of the 5th metacarpus with hamate involvement (dorso-ulnar flake fracture)].
abstract: An uncommon case of a closed dorsal fracture dislocation of the base of the fifth metacarpal bone associated with a flake fracture of the hamate is described. Under general anaesthesia, the dislocation was reduced by traction and direct pressure over the metacarpal base. To maintain the reduction, Kirschner wires were inserted percutaneously.
