Isolated dislocation of the trapezoid

Hand Surg. 2012;17(3):391-3. doi: 10.1142/S0218810412720392.

Abstract

Here we present a rare case of an isolated trapezoid dislocation secondary to a high-speed motor vehicle injury. In this case we highlight that the fact that these injuries are commonly missed on standard radiographs and management invariably requires open reduction and internal fixation.
