  "abstract": "Carpometacarpal joint dislocations are rare injuries that may be overlooked, particularly in high-energy trauma. Second and third carpometacarpal dislocations are especially uncommon due to the inherent stability of these joints. A man in his 20s sustained second and third carpometacarpal joint dislocations following a high-energy road traffic injury, with an associated femoral head fracture-dislocation. Following urgent management of the hip injury, closed reduction of the carpometacarpal dislocations was performed. Stable anatomical reduction was confirmed clinically and radiographically. The hand was immobilized for 4 weeks followed by structured rehabilitation. At 2-year follow-up, the patient remained pain-free with full function and maintained joint congruity without instability or degenerative changes. Second and third carpometacarpal dislocations require careful clinical and radiographic assessment, particularly in polytrauma. When stable anatomical reduction is achieved, conservative treatment can provide excellent long-term functional outcomes.",
