An unusual fracture-dislocation of the trapeziometacarpal joint of the thumb: a case report.
Reports describing trapeziometacarpal joint fractures of the thumb have discussed Bennett's fracture or Rolando's fracture primarily. We report a patient with an unusual fracture which could not be classified as a Bennett's-type or Rolando's-type injury. The aetiology of the fracture pattern is proposed and treatment considerations are discussed.
