Simultaneous closed double dislocations of the hand are not a common presentation. We hereby report a 40-year-old male patient with an unusual presentation of Bennett's fracture/dislocation associated with dorsal fracture dislocation of the interphalangeal joint of thumb along with its management by Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) with K-wires and physiotherapy. The patient had near normal functions after three months.
