Core Tip	Association of fracture of the trapezium with Bennett’s fracture is very rare and makes reduction and stabilisation more difficult. We are reporting a rare case of Bennett’s fracture with fracture of the trapezium and subluxation of the carpo-metacarpal joint (CMC) joint, and describing a technique for successful reduction and stabilisation of these fractures. Trapezium should be reduced first and secured with a 2 mm diameter screw. Bennett’s fracture should then be reduced and fixed with two per-cutaneously placed Kirchner’s wires. CMC should be stabilised with per-cutaneous Kirchner’s wires. This is expected to result in good functional outcomes.
