This is a case of right ring and little finger carpometacarpal joint dislocation managed with conservative care following early presentation and accurate identification of the injury. It is a rare injury that can be easily missed with the need for operative intervention if there is a delayed diagnosis. The dislocation was reduced and retained with an ulnar gutter splint using plaster of paris extending from the mid-forearm to the metacarpophalangeal joints. Caution and repeated radiological assessment are advised to ensure that the reduction has been maintained. Follow-up at one week and four weeks post-injury showed no pain or deformity, with a normal range of motion in the affected joints.
