Abstract
Dislocation and carpal fracture-dislocation are a rare injury, interesting capsula and ligaments, with a variable damage of the vascularization. Classification is difficult for the complexity on this lesion.
The aim of our work is to underline how the best final clinical result is achieved after an immediate treatment of reduction and stabilization of bone injury.
We considered two groups:
A: 13 patients, who have been observed since 1991 until 1998:
B: Another group is at short term is since July 2002 until 2005 and is in 20 patients with 21 wrists 1 is bilateral.
Finally we think that is necessary, to avoid the instability and pseudoartrosis on the scaphoid, to treat all the transcapholunate dislocation with open reduction and stabilisation, as agreed with literature.
