    Double dislocations of joints of the thumb are uncommon injuries. We report an unusual case of simultaneous dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and subluxation of the carpometacarpal (CMC) joints of the thumb in a child to illustrate problems related to their treatment.

    Injury of the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of thumb can be incapacitating if untreated or not treated properly. This injury is notorious for frequently being missed by inexperienced health care personnel in emergency departments. It has frequently been described in skiers, but also occurs in other sports such as rugby, soccer, handball, basketball, volleyball and even after a handshake. The UCL of the thumb acts as a primary restraint to valgus stress and is injured if hyperabduction and hyperextension forces are applied to the first metacarpophalangeal joint. The diagnosis is best established clinically, though MRI is the imaging modality of choice. Many treatment options exist, surgical treatment being offered depending on various factors, including timing of presentation (acute or chronic), grade (severity of injury), displacement (Stener lesion), location of tear (mid-substance or peripheral), associated or concomitant surrounding tissue injury (bone, volar plate, etc.), and patient-related factors (occupational demands, etc.). This review aims to identify the optimal diagnostic techniques and management options for UCL injury available thus far.

    Chronic embedded-ring injury is a rare and uncommon presentation. This is also known as "chronic ring erosion" or "embedded ring syndrome" in the literature. Injury of this type has been associated with psychological impairment causing neglect of such injury. We herein describe a case of double embedded rings on the right ring finger in a 30-year-old healthy construction worker. A primary amputation at the metacarpophalangeal joint was performed in view of the chronicity of his condition and associated neurovascular damage. Early removal of ring is of paramount importance in any ring-associated injuries. However, fear of losing a digit has been the reason of delay in seeking medical treatment, which in turn ended up in dire consequences.

    Giant cell tumour (GCT) of the metacarpal bone is rare, and it behaves more aggressively with a higher recurrence rate as compared to other long bones. Modalities such as bone curettage with or without bone grafting, ray amputation, or wide resection and reconstruction have been described as surgical management for this condition. Wide resection (en block) is often preferred as it has a lower recurrence rate among the rests. Reconstruction techniques options available include vascularised or non-vascularised fibular graft, iliac crest strut graft with loss of metacarpophalangeal joint function or with metatarsal substitution resulting in a more preserved function of the hand. This case report is about a 15-year-old teenager girl with a giant cell tumor of her left second metacarpal bone, which was confirmed with a plain radiograph and magnetic resonance imaging. This case report focuses the operative technique of the metacarpal reconstruction using the third metatarsal bone. The aim was to preserve hand function and cosmesis while achieving good local control of the disease without compromising the lower limb function. The transfer of osteoarticular ligamentous complex of the third metatarsal bone for the reconstruction of the second metacarpal bone defects is a possible operative procedure that provides good cosmetic and excellent functional outcomes while not compromising the donor’s foot function.
