RESUMEN
The floating metacarpal bone is a result of simultaneous fracture-dislocation of both carpometacarpal and metacarpophalangeal joints. This rare entity may be associated with other hand injuries. Here we present a floating index metacarpal with concomitant 3rd-5th carpometacarpal fracture-dislocations. Excellent functional short-term result was achieved after open metacarpopha langeal reduction and closed carpometacarpal reduction and percutaneous pinning.
