Özet

Isolated dislocation of trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joint is a rarely seen entity among hand injuries. It often develops after axial loading on thumb at partial flexion. It may eventually result in TMC arthritis, pain and dysfunction in thumb due to TMC joint instability if treated inadequately or left untreated. Here, we aimed to present successful outcome in a case who presented with acute instable dislocation of TMC joint and underwent dorsoradial carpal and volar oblique ligament repair after two years of follow-up.
