Isolated dislocation of the carpal scaphoid is a rare injury. Such dislocation is extremely rare. In this article the authors report a twenty-eight-year-old man with isolated dislocation of the scaphoid with associating radial styloid fracture. We manage the patient with open reduction and Kirschner wire fixation. One year later there is a good functional and radiographic result.

Isolated pisiform dislocation is an uncommon condition, with a limited number of cases reported in the literature. We present unique case 15-year-old male who experienced atraumatic isolated bone his left wrist and presented pain, deformity, ulnar nerve palsy little ring fingers. Radiographic investigations confirmed diagnosis dislocation, patient successfully underwent open reduction, stabiliz...

We describe a case of isolated proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation in a 20 years old girl following trauma. Dislocation was reduced through a new and simple reduction technique after failure of classic reduction maneuver. This technique by using isokinetic movements lead to relax the fibular collateral ligament and allow the biceps tendon to snap the proximal end of the fibula back into the...

Isolated dislocation of the distal radio-ulnar joint and isolated dislocation of the radial head in adults are not common injuries. A simultaneous dislocation of the radial head and distal radio-ulnar joint with no other injury seems to be extremely rare since only one report was found in the English literature. A similar case, but with some differences in presentation and treatment is reported.

A 35 year old man presented to our emergency department after a traffic injury. Radiographic evaluation showed plantar dislocation of the second metatarsophalangeal joint and dorsal dislocation at the second tarsometatarsal joint. Under general anesthesia, closed reduction of the metatarsophalangeal joint was performed, followed by percutaneous fixation with a Kirschner-wire, and immobilization...

Isolated acute distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocation is a rare injury (Garrigues and Aldridge III in J Bone Joint Surg Am 89:1594-1597, 2007]. Reports of isolated DRUJ luxations, volair or dorsal, are often case reports and rarely a series of cases [Dameron Jr in Clin Orthop Relat Res 83:55-63, 1972]. We present a case of an acute traumatic dorsal DRUJ dislocation treated with cast immobil...

A 31-year-old housewife attended the Accident and Emergency Department of the Mater Infirmorum Hospital, Belfast, Northern Ireland, having fallen and injured her left wrist. She had fallen backwards onto her outstretched hand, forcing the wrist into considerable dorsi-flexion with the forearm in supination. Examination revealed bruising and swelling at the base of the first metacarpal and over ...

Nine cases of fracture-dislocation of the tarsal navicular are reported. Six patients were male and three were female. Their mean age at the time of injury was 30.4 years old. The cause of the injury was a traffic accident in five cases and a fall from a height in four. Open reduction and internal fixation was performed in four cases (three by Kirschner wire, one by screw) and plaster fixation ...

The rotating hinge knee prosthesis is a popular intervention in patients lacking stability with highly constrained total knee arthroplasty. Despite improvements in design, nonmechanical and mechanical complications continue to be a problem. Dislocation of the hinge has been widely described, mainly due to the component fracture. Few reports describe isolated dislocation of the rotating stem. We...
