Isolated fracture of the trapezoid.

Abstract

We describe a case of an isolated trapezoid fracture that was managed nonoperatively with a favorable clinical outcome. To our knowledge and based on a literature review, this is the first report of a true isolated trapezoid fracture without accompanying dislocation and without associated metacarpal, carpal, or distal radial fractures. We present our findings in this case and review the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, and treatment of trapezoid fractures in general.
