Simultaneous dislocation of all five carpometacarpal joints.
A case of unique combination of simultaneous dislocation of all five carpometacarpal joints is presented. The mechanism of injury in this case seems to be some manner of punching with a closed fist rather than direct violence. Satisfactory results were achieved using simple principles of manipulation under anesthesia, open reduction, and skeletal fixation, followed by intensive physiotherapy.
