Background Pisiform dislocations are an extremely rare injury. There are reports in the literature of isolated dislocations, but to our knowledge there are no reports of distal radius fractures with associated pisiform dislocations.
Methods and Results We present two cases of isolated pisiform dislocation and distal radius fracture in the adult population. Both patients were managed conservatively with closed reduction in both the distal radius and pisiform, and subsequently achieved good pain relief and progressive return of wrist function.
Conclusion For adult patients with distal radius fractures and an associated pisiform dislocation, successful closed reduction and immobilization can result in symptomatic improvement and return of function.
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.
