Injury. 2004 Nov;35(11):1172-5. doi: 10.1016/j.injury.2003.09.004.

Abstract

Trapezial fractures are uncommon, and require careful clinical and radiological assessment and treatment. Poor or inadequate treatment of displaced fractures of trapezium can lead to long-term morbidity. We report two displaced fractures of the trapezium. The clinical and radiological features are discussed. Both fractures were treated operatively and a good functional outcome was achieved.
