background: prevalence of recurrent shoulder dislocation in patients taking tramadol has not been studiedyet so, this study aims to study the recurrent shoulder dislocation following tramadol induced seizure. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 205 patients with recurrent shoulder dislocation complaints (2 or more) referred to shafa orthopedic and iranmehr hospitals tehran, iran, from octob...

Various patterns of traumatic carpal injury have been described in the literature. Although the combination of scaphoid fracture and scapholunate ligament rupture in the same injury has been reported and these lesions can no longer be considered mutually exclusive, little information is available on management methods and the long-term results of such seemingly paradoxical complex injuries. Thi...

THE PATIENT A 37-year-old man injured his right wrist in a motor vehicle collision. In the emergency department he had severe wrist pain and median nerve paresthesia. Wrist radiographs identified a dorsal perilunate dislocation (PLD) with the carpus dislocated dorsally and the lunate tilted volar but still located in the lunate fossa. Post-reduction computed tomography scan confirmed no fractures.

A rare case of trans-radial styloid, trans-scaphoid, trans-triquetral perilunate dislocation is described. The injury was treated by reduction and internal fixation using a Herbert screw and Kirschner wire. A good functional result was achieved. A review of the literature illustrates that early surgery is recommended. Alternative surgical approaches are discussed.

dear editor we read the article by bagheri et al with great interest (1). we found the study interesting and comprehensive as four groups of patients, including operative and nonoperative in either pure dislocation or fracture dislocation, were compared in terms of mayo wrist score, grip strength, range of motion and radiographic parameters. it seems that the results were comparable to studies ...

Isolated injury of the lunotriquetral interosseous ligament complex and associated structures is less common and is poorly understood compared with the other proximal-row ligament injury, scapholunate dissociation. The spectrum of injuries ranges from isolated partial tears to frank dislocation, and from dynamic to static carpal instability. The diagnosis may be difficult to establish because o...
