Simultaneous dislocation of the radial head and distal radio-ulnar joint is rare. We report a 71-year-old man with volar dislocation of the radial head and dorsal dislocation of the distal radio-ulnar joint, and discuss the injury mechanism and its management with closed reduction.

The movement patterns one sees when loads placed on a joint are incrementally increased provides valuable insight as to how a joint functions during different everyday activities. This author describes a simple, yet effective method of assessing the thumb carpometacarpal joint as load demands increase. It may be used as an evaluative tool or as an adjunct to treatment.

<p><strong>Background</strong>: The purpose of this study is to assess the functional outcome cases with advanced thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis treated trapeziectomy and ligament reconstruction tendon interposition (LRTI) in terms visual analogue scale (VAS), disabilities arm, shoulder hand (DASH) score, Kapandji range motion (ROM) radial volar abduction thumb, grip po...

Simultaneous dislocation of both interphalangeal (IP) joints of same finger is a highly uncommon finding. And dislocation of metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint along with interphalangeal joints of thumb are reported in literatures if, scarcely. Here we are reporting the three cases, comprising of double dislocation of IP joints in little finger in two patients and simultaneous MCP and IP joint dis...
