Neglected floating fifth metacarpal: a case report

Abstract

Simultaneous dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal and carpometacarpal joint has been previously reported. Floating metacarpals occur when the metacarpal head displaces volarly and the base displaces towards the dorsal side. A closed dislocation at both ends of the fifth ray is unusual. In this study, we report a neglected case of floating fifth ray and its management along with a review of the literature.
