J Surg Pak Jan ;13(4):178-9.

Simultaneous dislocation of two joints of a thumb is rare. We present a case of simultaneous dislocation of carpometacarpal and metacarpophalangeal joints of thumb. There are only few reported cases of similar injury pattern in the literature. He was treated with closed reduction for metacarpophalangeal joint dislocation and closed reduction and stabilization with Kirschner wire for carpometacarpal joint dislocation. After 4 months the functional results were satisfactory. We report this unusual mechanism of injury and its management.
