The volar divergent dislocation of the second to fifth carpometacarpal joints and involving fracture of carpal is an extremely rare injury. We reported a case of 55-year-old man, victim of a motorbike, who was struck by a car, admitted at the emergency department unable to move his left hand with severe swelling. X-rays and CT scan showed a volar divergent dislocation of second to fifth carpometacarpal joints and involving fracture of carpal. Patient underwent closed reduction and plaster fixation right way, after one week, he received open reduction internal fixation with K-wire and plaster. Functional exercise was started progressively once K-wire and plaster were removed after six weeks. At six months follow-up, results were excellent and patient has regained all of his range of motion and hand activities.
