title: A dislocation of the carpal-metacarpal joints of the index, middle and ring finger.
abstract: A dislocation of the carpal-metacarpal joints of the index, middle and ring finger is reported. This dislocation is not very common and can easily be missed without the right diagnostics. The lesion was treated by reduction and immobilization for four weeks. Two months after the trauma, the patient had regained full function of his hand.
