Hand Surg. 2011;16(2):185-7. doi: 10.1142/S0218810411005321.

Abstract

Isolated trapezoid fractures are rare. We present a case of severe isolated trapezoid fracture associated with bone loss and proximal migration of the second metacarpal, which was treated successfully by open reduction and internal fixation with bone grafting and joint fusion.
