Isolated radial palmar dislocation of the fifth carpometacarpal joint with ulnar neuropathy associated: successful treatment with closed reduction and internal fixation

Carpometacarpal dislocations may be dorsal, volar or divergent type but most are dorsal with involvement of fourth and fifth metacarpal. Isolated volar dislocation of the fifth carpometacarpal joint is an uncommon injury specially when there is no associated fracture. We report a case of radial palmar dislocation of the base of fifth carpometacarpal joint associated to compression of the fourth interdigital nerve in the hand.     

Sensitivity and Specificity of Radiographs in the Diagnosis of Little and/or Ring Carpometacarpal Joint Injuries

Introduction  Little and ring finger carpometacarpal joints (CMCJs) injuries are commonly missed due to misinterpretation of radiographs. We aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of four different radiographic views. Materials and Methods  Radiographs (posteroanterior [PA], lateral [LAT], pronated oblique [POL], and supinated oblique [SOL] views) showing normal findings or little/ring finger CMCJ injuries were shown to two cohorts of orthopaedic trainees and a cohort of emergency nurse practitioners. Results  The POL view performed best in all three testing scenarios. The SOL view performed least well. The combination of a PA, true LAT, and POL identified 78% of injuries correctly. In no cases did the SOL view correctly identify an injury when the other three views had been interpreted as normal. Conclusion  We recommend a combination of the PA, POL, and LAT views in diagnosing these injuries. Where doubt remains, cross-sectional imaging is essential.

Complex fracture-dislocation of the carpometacarpal joint associated with a fracture of the hamate: a case report

Abstract We report a case of carpometacarpal dislocation associated with a fracture of the hamate, an extra-articular fracture of the base of the first metacarpal and a rotated volar dislocation of the scaphoid. These lesions are not common and are sometimes misdiagnosed because of nonspecific symptoms and the difficulty of interpreting the radiographs. Open reduction and stabilization with Kirschner wires was performed. We removed the cast and wires after 4 weeks and the patient was sent to a rehabilitation program. When reviewed 18 months later, he had recovered complete hand function without pain or other symptoms, even after heavy manual activities.     

Bilateral irreducible asymmetrical fracture-dislocation of the hip: A case report and literature review

Introduction and importanceBilateral hip dislocation is a rare injury. Bilateral asymmetrical fracture-dislocation is an even rarer type of injury. Apart from its rarity, prompt diagnosis of this condition and emergent treatment is necessary to prevent complications.Case presentationHere we present a 32 years old patient admitted with bilateral asymmetrical dislocation of hips following high energy motor traffic accident.Clinical findings and investigationsComputed tomography revealed bilateral asymmetrical hip dislocations (Left hip anterior dislocation and the right hip posterior dislocation) with a small femoral head fracture on the right side and a large Pipkin I fracture on the left side.Intervention and outcomeClosed reduction of bilateral hips failed under general anaesthesia and rendered immediate open reduction of both hips through different approaches and fixation of the osteochondral fragment. Rehabilitation was challenging as the patient has been recovering from a head injury and bilateral lower limb involvement. The patient is under follow-up for any evidence of avascular necrosis of the femoral heads and myositis ossificans.Relevance and impactBilateral irreducible asymmetrical fracture-dislocations of the hip joint are rarest of its kind. Pre-operative emergent computed tomography is very helpful to identify fracture-dislocations and help in the planning of osteosynthesis. Preparation for open reduction while undergoing a close reduction is essential.

Late presentation of a complete complex thumb metacarpophalangeal joint dislocation: A case report

Metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint injuries and dislocations of the fingers and thumb are not uncommon. They can be classified directionally as either being volar or dorsal, and are further categorized as incomplete, simple complete or complex complete. Complex dislocations are described as dislocations that are irreducible and often require surgical intervention. This is often because tissue has become entrapped within the MP joint, precluding its anatomical reduction. For the thumb MP joint, anatomical structures that may become trapped include the volar plate, sesamoid bones, bony fracture fragments or the flexor pollicis longus tendon. Both dorsal and volar surgical approaches have been described, and their relative merits will be discussed. The unusual case of a late presentation (two months postinjury) of a complex complete dorsal dislocation of the thumb MP joint approached from a dorsal incision is presented.     

Elbow fracture-dislocation combined with Galeazzi fracture in adult: A case report and literature review

INTRODUCTIONGaleazzi fracture associated with ipsilateral posterior elbow dislocation and radial head fracture is a rare pattern of injury. Few reports exist that describes this injury pattern and its treatment. We describe a case report of simultaneous occurrence of Galeazzi fracture and ipsilateral dislocation of elbow.PRESENTATION OF CASEA 58 year-old female presented with Galeazzi fracture and posterior elbow dislocation associated with radial head fracture of left upper extremity. This was managed with closed reduction of the elbow, open reduction and internal fixation of the radial shaft fracture and K-wire stabilisation of the unstable distal radioulnar joint. Prophylactic fasciotomy was performed. At 10 months follow-up, the outcome was favourable with the American shoulder and elbow surgeon score of 92 and the disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand score of 18.DISCUSSIONThe presumed mechanism of the injury was a forceful axial loading of a hyperpronated forearm and extended elbow. Our literature review shows that this pattern of injury occurs as a result of high energy trauma in young individuals, and successful outcome can be achieved by addressing each component of this complex injury individually.CONCLUSIONSimultaneous occurrence of elbow dislocation and Galeazzi fracture seems to be the result of extreme axial force and unique position of upper extremity at the time of impact. Individualised approach to each component of this injury can result in favourable outcome.     

Pure isolated dorsal dislocation of the fifth carpometacarpal joint

Isolated pure dislocations of the fifth carpo-metacarpal joint are extremely rare injuries. The dorsal form was described in mere 12 cases. The diagnosis can be easily missed. The lesion is also often overlooked in the routine diagnostic X-ray. Lateral and oblique views are important for the recognition of the true extent of the lesion. Treatment of these injures is still controversial and both closed reduction with percutaneous pinning or open reduction with internal fixation are advocated. The goal of treatment is early reduction and fixation of the metacarpal. Early diagnosis is the key to success. The aim of this paper is to review literature and present two new cases.

Traumatic recurrent distal radioulnar joint dislocation: a case report

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 immobilization with recurrence of the dislocation after a new trauma some months later. At follow-up, 17 months after the first dislocation and 9 months after the second, he experienced no pain and had no restrictions in work or sports-related activities.

Complex carpal dissociation with open, complete, and divergent trapezium, capitate, and hamate dislocation: a case report

We report a patient with a unique complex carpal dissociation involving complete and divergent dislocation of the hamate, capitate, and trapezium with total ligamentous disruption of the distal carpal row and midcarpal joint, associated with a transverse shaft fracture of the fifth metacarpal. The mechanism of injury was a sustained torsional force resulting in a simultaneous distraction and bidirectional dorsopalmar (ulnar)-palmodorsal (radial) crushing force at the carpus.     

Bilateral fracture-dislocation of the sacroiliac joint: a case report

Combined fractures of the body and hook of hamate: A form of ulnar axial injury of the wrist

Fractures of the hamate are rare, and usually associated with athletes. We describe an unusual form of the injury involving fractures of the hook as well as an intra-articular medial facet. It is likely to be a result of high velocity ulnar component of the axial injury. Surgical treatment is advocated to achieve accurate reduction and apposition of the fifth carpometacarpal joint.
