Abstract
The combination of a trapezium fracture and a Bennett's fracture-luxation is rare in hand trauma, posing both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Anatomical reduction and stabilization of the thumb MP joint, as well as optimal management, are the keys to a good outcome. We present the case of a 20-year-old motorcyclist with this lesion, treated with closed reduction, using the Islen K-wire fixation. Clinical and radiological results were satisfactory at six months' follow-up.
