Abstract

Simultaneous dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal and carpometacarpal joint has been previously reported. Floating metacarpals occur when the metacarpal head displaces volarly and the base displaces towards the dorsal side. A closed dislocation at both ends of the fifth ray is unusual. In this study, we report a neglected case of floating fifth ray and its management along with a review of the literature.

Özet

Metakarpofalangeal ve karpometakarpalin eşzamanlı çıkığı daha önce bildirilmiştir. Yüzen metakarp, metakarpal baş volar ve taban dorsale doğru yer değiştirdiği zaman oluşur. Beşinci rayın her iki ucunda kapalı çıkık ise nadir görülen bir durumdur. Bu çalışmada, ihmal edilmiş yüzen bir beşinci ray ve tedavisi literatür bilgisi ile birlikte sunulmaktadır.
