Dislocation of the Trapezium (Multangulum Majus):A Case Report A Case Report

Traumatic Isolated Trapezium Dislocation without Fracture: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

“…Of these, two report an open injury [ 4 ] and three report a closed injury [ 3 , 5 , 6 ]. In addition, there were also four reported cases that involved only minor avulsion type fractures of the trapezium [ 1 , 8 , 9 , 12 ].…”

“…However, in general, this option is considered as a salvage technique only [ 2 ]. In the majority of reported cases, percutaneous fixation with Kirschner wires has been used with acceptable results [ 1 , 5 , 9 – 12 , 14 , 15 ]. An open reduction technique has been employed in all cases where the fracture was open.…”

“Twist of the Wrist” A Rare Case of Carpal Dislocation

“…The outcome of isolated dislocation of the trapezium is good. All cases described normal function 2 to 6 months after the injury [1-3, 6, 7] Boe describes a case of trapezium dislocation with a follow-up of 2 years and 6 months with no avascular necroses, no subjective complains, and no radiological signs of arthrosis [2]. The prognosis for scaphoid dislocations is also good.…”

“…Dislocations are mostly volar and, in some cases, dorsal. The recommended treatment is open reduction and Kirschner wire fixation [2,3,7]. In most cases, a volar approach is advised.…”

COMPLETE DISLOCATION OF THE TRAPEZIUM: Case report

“…We know of only seven previously reported cases that involved indirect trauma, most of which required open reduction, and in one case the trapezium itself was excised (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6). In the case described here, the patient was treated successfully by closed reduction and fixation with a Kirschner wire.…”
