    Citation Excerpt :

    The remaining 33.3% (n = 8) of patients underwent surgical intervention. Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with screws (n = 2) or K-wires (n = 3) was performed in 62.5% (n = 5) of surgical cases.2,7,16,23,24 The remaining 37.5% (n = 3) required more complex surgical interventions, such as complete resection of a trapezoidal fracture-dislocation with inter-carpal fusion (n = 1),18 bone fragment excision (n = 1),19 and open reduction with joint arthrodesis of the second carpometacarpal joint (n = 1).14

    2015, Clinics in Sports Medicine
    Citation Excerpt :

    When fractured, the pull of the strong volar intercarpal ligaments results in dorsal displacement of the bone. This injury is caused by an axial load from the second metacarpal.80–82 Trapezoid fractures are classified as either dorsal rim or body types.71

    Citation Excerpt :

    The bone can be visualized quite well on standard PA, oblique and lateral X-rays. Close attention should be paid to the congruence of the surrounding joints to assess for subluxation or dislocation, particularly of the second CMC joint of the index finger, dislocation of the trapezoid can occur, usually in a dorsal direction.22 Minimally displaced fractures are treated with a short arm cast until pain subsides, whilst those which are displaced, have an intra-articular step, or subluxation of a joint should be reduced and stabilized with wires or screws.

    2010, Hand Clinics
    Citation Excerpt :

    Because of this position, the more commonly reported injuries include a dorsal dislocation.55 Axially loading injuries leading to trapezoid fractures can occur.56 Dislocations can be treated by closed reduction.
