چکیده

Sixteen cases of dorsal transscaphoid perilunate fracture/dislocations in 15 patients were treated by open reduction and internal fixation of the scaphoid with a Herbert screw and/or Kirschner wires. All patients were male, with a mean age of 31 years. The average follow-up period was 3 years. These perilunate dislocations were transscaphoid in 13 cases, and transstyloid and transscaphoid in 3 cases. There was one case of median nerve deficit preoperatively. Open reduction was performed through a volar approach in all cases. Herbert screw fixation of the scaphoid was performed on 13 cases, of which supplemental Kirschner wires were used in 2 cases. Three cases had fixation with Kirschner wires only. There were 2 cases of non-union which required bone grafting on follow-up. A clinical evaluation scoring system assessing pain, occupational ability, range of motion and grip strength was used. Based on this, there were 10 excellent to good (62.5%) and 6 fair results. For the majority of our patients, surgical outcome is characterised by acceptable relief of pain, functional motion and grip strength.

Staged reduction of neglected transscaphoid perilunate fracture dislocation: A report of 16 cases

BACKGROUND Transscaphoid perilunate fracture dislocation is a rare injury and can be easily missed at the initial treatment. Once ignored, late reduction is not possible and needs extensive dissection. An alternative treatment such as proximal row carpectomy may be required for neglected injuries, but surgical outcome is not as good as that of an early reduction. We aim to present an alternativ...

  Background: Trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture-dislocation and perilunate dislocations are among uncommon injuries, most commonly seen in young patients due to high energy trauma. The treatment can be achieved either surgically by open reduc tion and internal fixation or closed reduction and casting.   Methods: To compare surgical versus non-operative results of treatment of trans-scaphoid pe...

Classification and management of carpal dislocations.

A classification and plan of management for carpal dislocations are presented, based upon the following basic premises: perilunate and lunate dislocations are different stages of the same injury and are therefore managed identically; displacement may be either dorsal or volar; anatomic restoration of the 3 key elements (scaphoid, lunate, and capitate) is essential. Following initial closed redu...

Open reduction and internal fixation in a case with transscaphoid perilunate dislocation 8 months after the injury: a patient with a 5-year follow-up

The management of perilunate dislocations diagnosed later than three months continue to elicit debate with literature being scarce. We report a 22-year-old male with transscaphoid perilunate dislocation who reported to our hospital 8 months after sustaining the injury. Open reduction was done along with bone grafting. Five years after the surgery the patient is symptom-free with an excellent ra...
