Simultaneous multiple dislocation of the thumb is a very rare injury. We experienced a case of
simultaneous fracture-dislocation of the carponletacarpal and metacarpophalangeal joint of the
thumb which was treated by closed reduction and percutaneous K-wire fixation. The clinical
retult was satisfactory.
