Radiocarpal dislocation: ORIF

Christopher J. Dy, Andrew J. Landau

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Radiocarpal dislocations are rare, but serious injuries. The shearing and rotation forces associated with these injuries lead to extrinsic carpal ligament damage and associated fractures of the distal radius and carpus. Prompt reduction and stabilization via surgical repair are critical to providing satisfactory outcomes. These injuries are often complex and are associated with variable injury patterns of osseous, ligamentous, and soft tissues. Knowledge and comfort with multiple surgical approaches and repair techniques can help the surgeon achieve better outcomes.
