Simultaneous Dislocation of the Scaphoid and Hamate Bones

Abstract

We report a rare case of simultaneous dislocations of the hamate and scaphoid in an 18-year-old boy. Despite the extensive damage to the wrist joint, the functional results of open reduction and suture of intercarpal ligaments have been satisfactory, without carpal instability and degenerative osteoarthritis.

Combined Reverse Perilunate and Axial–Ulnar Dislocation of the Wrist: A Case Report

“…Because there was no complete scapholunate dissociation, the case cannot be categorised as a pure reverse perilunate dislocation but as a combined reverse perilunate and axial-ulnar pattern of wrist disruption. In fact, this case represents the mirror image of the combined perilunate-axial dislocation described several times in the literature under a variety of diagnoses (Andre´et al, 1981;Connell and Dyson, 1955;Duparc and Huten, 1982;Healey et al, 2002;Higgs, 1930;Horton et al, 2004;Polveche et al, 1995;Russell, 1949;Sakada et al, 1998;Walker, 1943;Yammine et al, 2000).…”

“…Axial disruptions seldom involve dislocation of the lunocapitate joint. Only a few cases have been published where the capitate together with the scaphoid, trapezium, trapezoid and the corresponding metacarpals dislocated in block displacing proximally and radially (Andre´et al, 1981;Connell and Dyson, 1955;Duparc and Huten, 1982;Healey et al, 2002;Higgs, 1930;Horton et al, 2004;Polveche et al, 1995;Russell, 1949;Sakada et al, 1998;Walker, 1943;Yammine et al, 2000). Such an unusual axial-radial pattern of carpal instability always involved complete disruption of the hamate-capitate joint.…”

Isolated scaphoid dislocation associated with axial carpal dissociation: An unusual injury report

“…Sakada et al 34 in 1998 described a case of combined scaphoid and hamate dislocations without proximal migration of the capitate, which can be seen with axial carpal capitohamate dissociation and scaphoid dislocation. No mechanism of injury was proposed.…”

Complex Carpal Dissociation With Open, Complete, and Divergent Trapezium, Capitate, and Hamate Dislocation: A Case Report

“…Perhaps the least common isolated carpal bone dislocation encountered is that of the capitate, with only four cases reported in the English literature. [5][6][7][8] Dislocation of the hamate either alone 9,10 or in combination with other carpal bones 11,12 is also a rare injury. Here, we present a patient with open, complete and divergent dislocation of the hamate, capitate, and trapezium, with total ligamentous disruption of the midcarpal joint and distal carpal row.…”
