A palmar dislocation of scaphoid and lunate is uncommon. We have found only 19 reported cases in the literature. We reported a simultaneous, divergent dislocation. The closed reduction followed by percutaneous pinning has given a good result without avascular necrosis of any carpal bone.

 Abstract Background: The varieties of treatment methods for the scaphoid non:::union::: have always been a discussable issue for orthopaedic surgeons. The current study, considered to be review for treatment results of the patients who sustained the scaphoid non:::union::: with or without avascular necrosis and compared these two groups clinically and radiologically. Methods: The clinical and ...

A 51-year-old female patient presented with a carpal giant cell tumor (GCT) of the right capitate bone. The lesion was initially misdiagnosed as having an osteomyelitis. First, the diagnosis of a benign GCT was confirmed by histological examination. Second, an intralesional curettage and packing of the cavity with cancellous iliac crest bone grafts combined with a fusion of the third carpometac...

Although based on their long-term clinical evolution there appeared to be no doubt that fractures of the scaphoid modify the mechanical behavior of the carpus, the mechanisms of these modifications have not yet been investigated. This study based on finite element analysis provides insight into the sequence behind the onset of arthritis of the wrist, highlighting the existence of pressure peaks...

Background Scaphoid fractures are common carpal fractures that are often misdiagnosed as wrist sprains and may go on to nonunion. The location of the fracture site may influence the stability of scaphoid nonunions. Purpose To determine whether the stability of a scaphoid nonunion depends upon the fracture's location, we tested the hypothesis that a simulated fracture distal to the apex of the s...

UNLABELLED To assess the cost-effectiveness of various strategies for the diagnostic management of clinically suspected scaphoid fracture, a decision-analytic model was built to evaluate three strategies and to compare them with a (clairvoyant) reference diagnostic management strategy. METHODS Evaluated strategies were: (A) repeated radiography up to 2 wk; (B) repeat radiography up to 6 wk; a...

INTRODUCTION We report the outcome of using a novel technique of minimally invasive internal fixation and distal radius bone grafting using the Jamishidi Trephine needle and biopsy/graft capture device. METHODS The technique utilises a 8 mm incision at the distal pole of the scaphoid. The non-union is excavated using the standard Acutrak drill. An 8 gauge Jamshidi trephine needle is used to h...

Sir,?The ' os naviculare manus '* and the ' os naviculare pedis '* are two bones in the human body serving homologous functions and having analogous positions; the term ' navicular' being common to both, confusion is possible. Generally the prefix and suffix of the ' naviculare' are omitted, the adjuncts of distinction being dispensed with, and the bone being called the ' navicular bone' for al...
