Isolated scaphoid dislocations are rare, leading to varied treatments. This case highlights open reduction and internal fixation after failed closed reduction, suggesting ligament reconstruction may be a better first-line approach for carpal stability.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hand and Wrist Anatomy
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Isolated carpal scaphoid dislocations represent a rare injury pattern.
  • Existing treatment strategies for this condition are often conflicting and lack clear guidelines.
  • Understanding optimal management is crucial for restoring wrist function.

Observation:

  • A case of isolated scaphoid dislocation was managed initially with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning.
  • This initial approach failed to achieve stability, necessitating a subsequent surgical intervention.
  • Open reduction and internal fixation were performed, yielding adequate short-term results.

Findings:

  • The initial closed reduction and percutaneous pinning were insufficient for treating the isolated scaphoid dislocation.

  • Open reduction and internal fixation provided a successful short-term outcome for the patient.
  • The case underscores the challenges in managing this rare carpal injury.

    • Implications:

    • Current evidence suggests that ligament reconstruction should be considered the primary treatment.
    • Restoring normal carpal anatomy and preserving wrist function are paramount.
    • This case contributes to the evolving understanding of managing isolated scaphoid dislocations.
