I. C. JOSTY, J. H. E. LAING and C. DENT

From the Welsh Centre for Burns and Plastic Surgery, Morriston Hospital, Swansea, and the Department of Orthopaedics, Llandough Hospital, Cardiff, UK

Correspondence: Mr Ian Josty, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, Welsh Centre for Burns and Plastic Surgery, Morriston Hospital, Swansea, SA6 6NL, UK. Tel.: +44 1792 704021; fax: +44 1792 703875. E-mail: ian.josty{at}swansea-tr.wales.nhs.uk

There is little information in the literature regarding the clinical features, investigation, diagnosis and treatment of closed rupture of the deep transverse metacarpal ligament. We demonstrate a case with previously undescribed features and describe the surgical management.

Key Words: blunt hand injury • deep transverse metacarpal ligament • metacarpal instability • reconstruction
