Abstract
An acute dorsal dislocation of the trapeziometacarpal joint in a child is presented. The mechanisms of injury and controversies of treatment are discussed. The achievement of a stable reduction acutely is emphasized. After healing, joint stability is confirmed by obtaining stress radiographs to identify whether joint subluxation is present before degenerative changes occur.
