T G Bergfield, and T E DuPuy, and P L Aulicino

Injuries to all five carpometacarpal joints are rare. Only four cases have been reported in the English literature. A case of fracture-dislocations of all five carpometacarpal joints is presented. An excellent result has been obtained 2 years after open reduction and internal fixation. This case is the only one in the English literature so treated and with prolonged follow-up.
