Mid-carpal Fracture Dislocation.

A Case of Fracture-Dislocation Carpal Scaphoid (Navicular)

Isolated dislocation of the carpal scaphoid without the presence of an associated fracture or dislocation of the carpal bones

Isolated scaphoid dislocations are extremely rare injuries and are commonly associated with significant ligamentous disruptions. A dorsiflexion-supination force upon the hand consists the commonest mechanism of injury. Different treatment options have been proposed for the management of this uncommon entity, ranging from conservative treatment with closed reduction and casting to a wide range o...

Simultaneous of Mid Third Clavicle Fracture and Type 3 Acromioclavicular Joint Dislocation; A Case Report

  Simultaneous mid third clavicle fracture and acromioclavicular joint dislocation is a rare combination injury, as a result of high-energy trauma. We report a patient with a middle third clavicle fracture and ipsilateral grade three-acromioclavicular joint dislocation, which is a rare combination. The patient wanted to get back to work as soon as possible, so the fracture was fixed with recons...

The current authors present a case of isolated scaphoid dislocation that was treated initially with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. Failure of this index treatment necessitated open reduction and internal fixation providing an adequate short-term outcome. Current treatm...
