Trapezium fracture is a rare condition that goes undetected and exposes to long-term comorbidities: chronic pain and rhizartrosis. Our work aims to summarize the clinical presentation and improve leading to therapeutic guidelines which are not well established by reporting a case of ORIF with mini-screws for a displaced fracture of the body of the trapezium with a satisfactory outcome.

RESUMO
We here report the case of a 45-year old patient who had injured his right knee because of a road accident. The patient had right comminuted supracondylar femur fracture and ipsilateral patellar tendon rupture. This association is exceptional and no case has been reported in the literature. Targeted clinical and radiological diagnostic tests followed by early and suitable management based on internal osteosynthesis and suitable early functional rehabilitation enabled good long term outcome.
