Multiple dorsal dislocations of the carpometacarpal joints are rare. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, careful examination and good radiography. Treatment is controversial and is based on the presence or not of associated fractures. This paper presents a case of combined fifth and fourth finger carpometacarpal joint dorsal dislocation, successfully treated with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. A discussion of this pattern of injury is also presented.
