  • Title: [Bilateral radiocarpal dislocation with fracture of the radial styloid. A case report].
    Author: Orozco V, Orozco A.
    Journal: Acta Ortop Mex; 2010; 24(6):409-11. PubMed ID: 21400765.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Radiocarpal dislocation is a rare injury and thus the number of cases described is limited. The course of the injury is favorable when the treatment provided is appropriate. CLINICAL CASE: A 21-year-old male patient who sustained radiocarpal dislocation and fracture of the radial styloid process in both wrists. He was treated with closed reduction and external fixation. The evaluation at 3 months showed favorable results. DISCUSSION: This case is one of the few similar cases reported because it is an uncommon pathology and it is even less frequent because the injury involves both wrists.
