title: [Isolated traumatic dislocation of the thumb saddle joint].
abstract: Isolated dislocations of the basal joint of the thumb are rare injuries. In case of early treatment and joint stability after reduction, immobilization in a scaphoid cast for six weeks is sufficient. Only in cases of delayed treatment or instability after reduction, stabilization by Kirschner-wires inserted percutaneously should be performed.
