Trans-scaphoid Trans-lunotriquetral Perilunate Dislocation in a Patient with a Carpal Coalition
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY Congenital carpal coalitions are rare conditions that arise from a failure or an incomplete cavitation of a common cartilaginous precursor of the carpal bones between the fourth and eighth week of intrauterine life. The incidence of coalitions has been estimated to occur in about 0.1% of the population and up to 1.6% in people of African descent. This study reports a case of trans-scaphoid trans-lunotriquetral perilunate dislocation with a lunotriquetral coalition and successful management with closed reduction, percutaneous fixation, and a thumb spica cast.

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.

Of all wrist dislocation, the perilunate is the most common type of dislocation. There is ligament disruption typically begins radially and propagates around the lunate. It may be associated with different carpal fractures which the most common pattern is the trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture-dislocation [1,2] which constitutes approximately 50% of these injuries [1-5]. Injury to the distal ra...

The purpose of this study was to review clinical and radiographic outcomes of perilunate dislocations and fracture dislocations treated with external fixation and K-wire fixation. Twenty patients (18 males and two females) with a mean age of 38 years (range 18-59) who had an acute dorsal perilunate dislocation or fracture dislocation were treated with the use of wrist external fixator and K-wir...

Rowan CH, Downing ND. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-221041 Description Perilunate dislocations are uncommon high-energy injuries which are missed in approximately 25% of cases on initial presentation. We present the X-rays of a 25-year-old man who fell from a height of approximately 2 metres onto an extended wrist. Plain radiographs (figure 1) show classical signs of a trans-scaphoid ...
