Posttraumatic Static Volar Intercalated Segment Instability - Iatrogenic or Missed Injury
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Carpal instability is broad category consisting of various patterns of injury, with dissociative type more common. CASE REPORT A 13 -year -old boy presented at 6 months following a fall with restriction of wrist movements. Patient had sustained a closed distal one -third both bones fracture forearm fixed with K -wire, and volar lunate instability was found during sequential follow -up. CONCLUSION Posttraumatic carpal instability should be identified at the earliest to avoid poor hand function and morbidity associated with it.

Lunate Osteochondral Fracture Treated by Excision: A Case Report and Literature Review
INTRODUCTION Lunate fracture is a rare injury. Most reports are associated with other wrist injuries such as perilunate dislocation and distal radius fracture. Isolated lunate fracture has been reported even more rarely. The choice of treatment and outcomes are consequently undetermined. CASE PRESENTATION In this case report we will describe a lunate avulsion fracture as an isolated injury af...
متن کاملNeglected trans-scaphoid trans-styloid volar dislocation of the lunate. Late result following open reduction and K-wire fixation.
A rare case of radiocarpal dislocation is presented. The lunate and proximal pole of the scaphoid were displaced in a volar and proximal direction. The injury was missed initially and the patient was subsequently operated on six weeks later. Open reduction and internal fixation of the scaphoid was performed and this was followed by an uneventful postoperative period, with a satisfactory functio...
متن کاملIn brief: Mayfield et al. Classification: carpal dislocations and progressive perilunar instability.
According to Melsom and Leslie, the earliest description of perilunate dislocation was by Malgaigne in 1855, before the advent of radiography [7]. It later was described by Cousins, Destot, de Quervain, and others [7]. According to Melsom and Leslie [7] Tavernier reported the first series in 1906. Many years later, in 1968, the concept of the proximal row as an intercalated segment was describe...
متن کاملThree-corner midcarpal arthrodesis and scaphoidectomy: a simplified volar approach.
Midcarpal arthrodesis has been a treatment of choice in the last decade for scapholunate advanced collapse and related conditions of the wrist. In this study, we present a new uncomplicated technique in which a 3-corner intercarpal fusion is done with screw fixation from a volar approach. The advantages of this technique include simplified excision of the scaphoid, radial styloidectomy, and str...
متن کاملThe Management of Dorsal Radiocarpal Ligament Tears
The dorsal radiocarpal ligament (DRCL) has been implicated in both volar and dorsal intercalated segmental instabilities and has a role in midcarpal instability. Tears of the DRCL are more common than previously suspected. They are best seen through a volar radial portal and are amenable to arthroscopic repair. DRCL tears appear to be part of a spectrum of radialand ulnar-sided carpal instabili...
