Abstract
Generally fractures of trapezium are uncommon and account for 3-5% of all carpal fractures. About 20% of these are vertical sagittal split fractures and rarely occur isolated. The number of reported cases of open trapezium fractures is few. Open trapezium injuries of thumb are demanding injuries that need accurate restoration of damaged stuructures to gain normal thumb function. Otherwise it results in impairment of funtion due to limitation of motion, pain and weakness of the thumb. In this case report treatment of trapezium fracture with corticocancellous bone grafting from distal radius presented.
