Abstract
Trapezial fractures are uncommon, and require careful clinical and radiological assessment and treatment. Poor or inadequate treatment of displaced fractures of trapezium can lead to long-term morbidity. We report two displaced fractures of the trapezium. The clinical and radiological features are discussed. Both fractures were treated operatively and a good functional outcome was achieved.
