SUMMARY: 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 su rgical approaches are discussed. Case Report A twenty...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2014-208578 DESCRIPTION A well-built 31-year-old man presented with deformity and restricted movements of the left wrist joint. He gave a history of injury due to a fall 8 months earlier, for which he was initially treated with a wrist slab for 3 months. Clinical examina...

Osteonecrosis of the jaw is an uncommon but potentially serious complication of bisphosphonate therapy in multiple myeloma. Previous studies showed that the presence of one or two minor alleles of the cytochrome P450, subfamily 2C polypeptide 8 gene (CYP2C8) polymorphism rs1934951 was an independent prognostic marker associated with development of osteonecrosis of the jaw in multiple myeloma pa...

background scaphoid fractures are the most common type of carpal fractures. objectives the aim of the study was to compare the diagnostic value of panoramic and conventional radiographs of the wrist in scaphoid fractures. patients and methods the panoramic and conventional radiographs of 122 patients with acute and chronic wrist trauma were studied. the radiographs were analyzed and examined by...

In the past ten to fifteen years, investigators have demonstrated conclusively that some injuries about the wrist have profound long-term consequences relative to function of the wrist. Problem fractures and non-unions of the scaphoid have been associated, in particular~ with major alterations in the kinematics of the wrist8’64. Considering its vulnerable blood supply~-4, irregular shape, pecul...

If neglected or misdiagnosed, non-union of a scaphoid fracture will almost inevitably progress to radiographic and symptomatic osteoarthritis of the wrist with subsequent morbidity and lifelong disability, especially in young males in which the fracture is more common. Fractures of the scaphoid bone are the most common fractures of the carpus and second in occurrence among fractures of the wris...

Osteonecrosis of the jaws following the use of bisphosphonate drugs has been reported in the literature. Presently, there is limited evidence to establish guidelines for the prosthodontic management of patients with active osteonecrosis, a history of osteonecrosis, or medical history of using these medications. This clinical report reviews the current literature regarding bisphosphonate use, an...

Osteonecrosis, also referred to as avascular necrosis, refers to the death of cells within bone caused by a lack of circulation. It has been documented in bones throughout the body. In the foot, osteonecrosis is most commonly seen in the talus, the first and second metatarsals, and the navicular. Although uncommon, osteonecrosis has been documented in almost every bone of the foot and therefore...

As glucocorticoid use increased in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, osteonecrosis became an increasingly frequent complication. Besides increased age, host risk factors are poorly defined. We tested whether 12 polymorphisms were associated with osteonecrosis among patients 10 years and older treated on the CCG1882 protocol. Candidate genes (TYMS, MTHFR, ABCB1, BGLAP, ACP5, LRP5, ESR1, PAI-1, VDR, ...
