Scaphoid dislocation associated with axial carpal dissociation during volar flexion of the wrist: a case report

Hand Surg. 2010;15(3):229-32. doi: 10.1142/S0218810410004953.

Abstract

We present the first report of a patient with an isolated scaphoid dislocation with axial carpal dissociation sustained during volar flexion of the wrist. The scaphoid was dislocated to the radial side of the radial styloid process and was slightly shifted to the dorsal side. It was shown that the position of the wrist played an irrelevant role for occurring scaphoid dislocation.
