Triquetral fracture with associated pisiform subluxation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We herein present a case of right triquetral fracture with associated pisiform and flexor carpi ulnaris subluxation in a 29-year-old man. Initial radiography showed a right triquetral fracture. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a triquetral fracture with a subluxated pisiform. Open reduction and lag screw fixation of the right triquetrum was performed, with good subsequent recovery of function. Although triquetral fracture with subluxation of the pisotriquetral joint is uncommon, attending clinicians should bear in mind the possibility of such an injury when managing traumatic ulnar-sided wrist pain.

Chronic overuse injuries of the piso-triquetral joint in racquet game players.
Three squash racquets and one badminton player presented with pain in the base of the hypothenar eminence, due to minor degrees of subluxation of the pisiform bone. Two of them also showed chondromalacia of the articular cartilage of the pisotriquetral joint. All four patients were relieved by excision of the pisiform bone and had returned to their normal daily and sporting activities within th...
متن کاملEarly abnormalities of pisiform and triquetrum in rheumatoid arthritis.
Erosions on the triquetrum and pisiform are frequent in early rheumatoid arthritis and occur characteristically at 3 sites. (a) A shallow erosion on the proximal medial triquetral "bare" area is related to synovial proliferation at the margin of the radiocarpal cavity, although compressive forces from an adjacent long ulnar styloid may be contributory; (b) an erosive abnormality on the distal m...

The human carpal bones, as in most mammals, are usually eight in number, and develop from a common embryological origin by the eighth week of intrauterine life 1. Failure of separation during this development leads to the phenomenon of carpal coalition. The prevalence of the anomaly is uncertain as it is usually asymptomatic 2. Individual cases have been reported which have presented as unusual...
متن کاملNon-union of Isolated Displaced Triquetral Body Fracture – a Case Study
Triquetral fractures are the second most common carpal fractures. Triquetral body fractures are the less common type of triquetral fractures but they can be missed on plain radiographs and a non-union can be associated with considerable morbidity and reduction in functional activities. We report a unique case of displaced isolated triquetral body fracture that was initially missed on plain radi...
متن کاملIsolated displaced non-union of a triquetral body fracture: a case report
INTRODUCTION Fractures of the body of the triquetral bone are the second most common carpal fractures, and these fractures can be missed on plain X-ray. Although non-union of triquetral body fractures is very rare, such cases are associated with considerable morbidity and reduction in functional activity. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 29-year-old Caucasian British man who sustaine...
