Carpal Fractures and Dislocations
ثبت نشده
چکیده
It is important to have patients describe the injury; acting out the traumatic event if possible. The physician must consider the age of the patient when evaluating the mechanism of injury. For example, the injury resulting from a fall on to the outstretched hand with the wrist extended will vary depending on the patient’s age, typically causing a greenstick fracture in a toddler, a growth plate fracture in an adolescent, a scaphoid fracture in a young adult, and a Colles’ (distal radius) fracture in an older adult with osteoporosis.

متن کاملLunate and Perilunar Dislocations.
In his treatise on joint injuries Astley Cooper (1832) included only one example of carpal dislocation. Speed (1950) estimated that carpal fractures and dislocations comprised oneeighth of injuries about the wrist. Although they are so common carpal dislocations are often unrecognised or mismanaged (Watson-Jones 1946, Cave 1958, McLaughlin 1959, Wade 1960). There is still disagreement about the...
متن کاملCarpal dislocations: pathomechanics and progressive perilunar instability.
The pathomechanics, ligamentous damage, and degree of carpal instability in perilunate and lunate dislocations were analyzed by experimentally loading 32 cadaver wrists to failure. Thirteen perilunate and two lunate dislocations were produced. The mechanism of injury was extension, ulnar deviation, and intercarpal supination. These dislocations occurred in a sequential fashion due to progressiv...
متن کاملCurrent concepts review: carpal injuries - fractures, ligaments, dislocations.
An overview about current concepts in treating carpal injuries is presented. These injuries are more commonly seen in young, active individuals after a fall on an outstretched hand. Conventional radiographs and a thorough examination are important. The scaphoid is the most affected bone. Scaphoid fractures can be classified in accordance to OTA, AO, and other classification systems, but mostly ...
