Abstract
A case of isolated dorsal dislocation of the fifth carpometacarpal joint treated conservatively is reported. The mechanism is thought to be a force hitting the head of the fifth metacarpal in a dorso-palmar direction, along the longitudinal axis of the metacarpal. Both clinical and radiological results 1 year after injury are satisfactory.
