Introduction: Radiocarpal dislocation with radial styloid fracture is an infrequent injury with even less number of cases reported. Clinical case: A 19 year old male patient sustained dorsal radiocarpal dislocation with radial styloid fracture following high velocity trauma. The fracture was managed with open reduction and fixation. Postoperative evaluation after 12 weeks showed favourable outcomes. Discussion: This case report contributes to the present scarce literature on such injuries which have uncommon fracture geometry and pathology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
