  • Title: A Stepwise Approach to Management of Open Radiocarpal Fracture-Dislocations: A Case Report.
    Author: Woon CY, Baxamusa T.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Asian Pac Vol; 2017 Sep; 22(3):366-370. PubMed ID: 28774239.
    Abstract:
    Radiocarpal dislocations are uncommon and occur after significant trauma. We describe a unique case of open radiocarpal fracture-dislocation presenting with progressive neurovascular compromise. Staged management was necessary. As a first stage, emergent provisional bedside reduction in the emergency room with manual pressure through the open wounds was performed. The second stage then involved formal open reduction and internal fixation as soon as operating room staff and resources became available.
