“…The rarity of this fracture makes its diagnosis more difficult, especially if the fracture is not deviated and if at least two orthogonal views, lateral and Robert view, are performed. The latter corresponds to the true base thumb anteroposterior (AP) view [ 13 ]. Sensitivity of plain radiographs may vary from 18% to 67%, depending on the number of views and image quality [ 11 ].…”

“…In our case, trapezium-metacarpal joint instability was present in its major form, the dislocation. Its associated lesion was a Bennett fracture, leading to the loss of stabilizing function promoted by the anterior oblique ligament, major stabilizer of the trapezium-metacarpal [ 13 ]. Ligament reinsertion associated with joint stabilization with Kirschner wire allowed restoring ligament stability.…”

Introduction: Trapezium fracture is a rare entity whose treatment is controversial. The reported cases range from conservative treatment to surgical treatment with good reported results. Case Report: This paper reports a clinical case of trapezium-metacarpal fracture-dislocation associated with trapezius fracture and Bennett fracture, surgically treated with excellent functional and radiological results. The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation with two screws, excision of fragments, and reinsertion of the anterior oblique ligament. At the year of follow-up, the patient presented no mobility limitations and recovered grip strength. Conclusion: This case study allows us to conclude that open reduction and internal fixation with screws of the dorsal trapezium ridge fractures with ligament repair of the anterior oblique ligament is a valid treatment with the reproduction of good clinical results. Keywords: Hand surgery, internal fixation, trapezium fracture.
