Aim This study reviews the surgical outcomes of using dorsal buttress plate for open
reduction and internal fixation of ulnar (5th, or 4th and 5th) CMCJ fracture subluxation or …

Background Intra-articular fractures and fracture-dislocations of the ulnar-sided
carpometacarpal joints (US-CMC) are common and under-reported. Their diagnosis is often …

Purpose In this study, we designed a prospective project to test the hypothesis that acute
fourth and fifth carpometacarpal (CMC) fracture dislocations can be treated conservatively …

Background Fourth and fifth carpometacarpal fracture-dislocations with unsatisfactory closed
reduction commonly require later open reduction and internal fixation. However, the optimal …

Hamate fractures are commonly divided into hook fractures and body fractures. The coronal
fractures as a special form of hamate's body fracture are very rare injuries. Because of …

Fracture–dislocations of the fourth and fifth carpometacarpal (CMC) joints present a complex
situation. Misdiagnosis and inadequate treatment may cause malunion and residual …

Carpometacarpal (CMC) fracture-dislocations are uncommon hand injuries, with few studies
available regarding their treatment. The current operative treatment options include fixation …

Abstract Purpose of Review Due to the rarity and often discrete nature of hamate body
fractures, timely diagnosis requires a high level of suspicion on the part of the clinician …

Hamate fractures are estimated to represent 1.7% of all carpal fractures and can occur at the
hamulus (hook) or hamate body depending on mechanism of injury. Fractures of the hamate …

Background: Solitary fractures of the body of the hamate are rare. Their diagnosis is difficult
and requires a high clinical suspicion and a proper radiological examination. Case report …
