Abstract
A case of divergent dislocation of the fourth and fifth carpometacarpal joints is reported. The injury resulted from a high-energy trauma and was treated by closed reduction and cast immobilization for 4 weeks. Evaluation at the 26-month follow-up visit showed good radiographic and functional results.
