Randers Central Hospital, Denmark.

A case of traumatic dislocation of the fourth and fifth carpo-metacarpal joints and fracture of the base of the third metacarpal is presented. It is recommended that lateral X-rays of the hand be taken if dislocation is suspected at this level, as the injury may be missed on standard X-rays.
