ABSTRACT
CASES Two competitive athletes with isolated comminuted trapezium fractures, sustained during American football and rugby, presented with pain and swelling of the first metacarpal base. Computed tomography confirmed isolated comminuted trapezium fractures. Arthroscopic reduction of displacement with screw fixation below the articular surface was performed through a small incision. Both patients returned to their preinjury sports levels within 2 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION:
Arthroscopic treatment of isolated comminuted trapezium fractures achieved accurate reduction of articular surface displacement and preserved trapeziometacarpal joint stability with minimal soft-tissue invasion. This facilitated an early return to contact sports for the affected athletes.
