Scapho-capitate Syndrome Variant: 180-Degree Rotation of the Proximal Capitate Fragment Without Identifiable Scaphoid Fracture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scapho-capitate fractures, also known as Fenton's Syndrome, occur very rarely. We report a case of a variant capitate fracture with a 180 degree rotation of the proximal fragment and no identifiable scaphoid fracture. Prompt identification of this fracture is necessary to minimize complications such as avascular necrosis.

INTRODUCTION Perilunate and lunate dislocations are uncommon high energy injuries and have extensive soft tissue, cartilaginous and bony damage. The most common pattern is trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture dislocation which constitutes approximately 50% of these injuries. Unusual injury pattern like Scaphocapitate syndrome can occur with fracture through scaphoid waist and capitate that rotate...

A rare injury of the wrist, scapho-capitate fracture syndrome, in a young patient is reported. Despite early recognition of the injury and surgical intervention, the scaphoid fracture did not unite and another attempt to achieve union with bone grafting and internal fixation also failed. The wrist continued to be painful and stiff. Radiographs of the wrist, 18 months after the injury, showed no...

The wrist represents a complex anatomic region in the human extremity and a highly functional and intricate structural joint. Most perilunate injuries result from a staged disruption of the ligamentous structures. Forces may be directed through the carpal bones themselves resulting in a fracture. Early anatomic reduction of any carpal malalignment is of the utmost importance. Unfortunately, eve...

AbsractAll perilunate fracture-dislocations combine bone avulsions, ligament disruptionand fractures in different forms. The most frequent pattern is the dorsal transscaphoidperilunate fracture-dislocation. The reported risk of missed initial diagnosisin perilunate dislocations is as high as 20%. Concerning pathomechanics of theperilunate fracture-dislocation, it should be noted that most dorsa...
متن کاملSCAPHOID FRACTURE Relevant antomy
The distal row, which is more stable and moves as a unit, consists of the trapezium, the trapezoid, the capitate, and the hamate. The distal row forms a rigid, supportive transverse arch upon which the five metacarpals of the hand are supported. The trapezium articulates with the first metacarpal, the trapezoid with the second, and the capitate with the third one. The capitate and trapezoid are...
