![]() Trapezio-metacarpal, Fracture, Dislocation, Bennet, Phalanx, Floating, Closed reduction, Fixation The aim of our case report is to improve the closed reduction and percutaneous fixation on fracture dislocation of the trapezio-metacarpal on contrast to the isolated dislocation form in which closed reduction must be avoided. After removal of pins and physiotherapy, and at 12 months of follow up, anatomical and functional outcomes were satisfied with a normal motion of the thumb. A closed reduction and percutaneous fixation was achieved. X-ray findings revealed a floating metacarpal composed from a Bennet fracture dislocation of the trapezio-metacarpal joint and a fracture dislocation of the base of the proximal phalanx. We report a 40-year-old man consulting for an injury on his right thumb in which the described mechanism was an axial metacarpal force with both flexed trapezio-metacarpal and interphalangeal joints. Fracture dislocation of the trapezio-metacarpal joint has been reported more than the isolated form but deemed exceptional.
