Four acute cases of volar carpometacarpal dislocations of the medial four metacarpals were treated in our hospital's emergency room. Our initial diagnosis after clinical examination was confirmed by routine x-rays of the hand. Closed reduction was followed by percutaneous fixation of the carpometacarpal joints with Kirschner wires. Satisfactory function of the hand was obtained in all cases.
