Analysis of triquetral-lunate fusion.
Fusion of the centers of the triquetral and lunate (the 0s lunatotriquetrum) was observed in 1.6% of 7,543 subjects primarily of African origin as compared with 0.1% of 11,663 persons of European origin. The fusion was twice as common in females as in males, multifactorial inheritance was suggested in the lineages studied, and a possible selective disadvantage was postulated after comparison wi...
متن کاملImpaction-fracture of the capitate and lunate: a case report.
We report a 15-year-old girl who underwent a mid-carpal fusion for undiagnosed impaction-fractures of the capitate, lunate, and triquetrum after a fall on her outstretched left hand in a dorsiflexed and radially deviated position. The joint was dis-impacted, and the height of the lunate was restored using a cortical bone graft. The damaged proximal capitate articular surface was decorticated to...

متن کاملCongenital Fusion of the Lunate
Congenital fusion of the lunate [semilunar] bone with the triquetral [cuneiform] is an abnormality which has been considered to be rare, even in negroes, who have been regarded as specially subject (Shanks 1950). Smitham (1948) estimated its incidence in a series of West African natives to be one in seventeen (5’9 per cent), and if his experience is typical it is certainly much commoner in some...
متن کاملA Slightly Dorsally Tilted Lunate on MRI can be Considered Normal
Background: Abnormal angulation of the lunate can be an indication of intercarpal pathology. On magnetic resonance images (MRIs) the lunate often looks dorsally angulated, even in healthy wrists. The tilt on individual slices can also be different and might be misinterpreted as pathological, contributing to inaccurate diagnoses and unnecessary surgery. The primary aim of this study was to det...
