Where this comes from

Abstract

We report an unusual variant of a palmar trapezoid dislocation with a shearing fracture of the dorsal cortex treated with mini-fragment screw fixation. This patient's treatment is compared to the few previously published reports of palmarly dislocated trapezoids to assist hand surgeons facing this uncommon injury.
