%X Carpometacarpal joint luxation, excluding the thumb, is very uncommon and this injury is often missed at initial examination. The 3rd and 4th carpometacarpal joint fracture-dislocation combined with a 5th carpometacarpal luxation is extremely rare. A few reports have been previously described regarding a neglected type of this injury. A 26-year-old, male laborer, sustained an injury and was admitted to our hospital 5 months later. We reported the case and treatment by using a simple operative technique and our decision for open reduction and primary arthrodesis resulted in excellent hand function.
