Operative Treatment of Non-Thumb Carpometacarpal Joint Fracture Dislocations.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To investigate the functional outcomes and complications of operatively managed carpometacarpal (CMC) fracture dislocations, excluding the thumb, in a young, active population.

Methods

A retrospective chart review of all patients undergoing surgical treatment for CMC joint injuries at a single institution over a 6-year period was performed. Patients were excluded if they had a first CMC joint injury, were under 18 years old, or had incomplete documentation. Injury radiographs were categorized as simple/extra-articular, partial articular, and complete articular. Electronic health records were searched for demographic information, mechanism, associated injuries, time to surgery, time to union, time to return to full-activity, complications, and need for revision surger
