Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Care

Background:

  • Carpal dislocations are uncommon yet severe injuries, often caused by high-energy trauma like falls or accidents.
  • These injuries present a range of pathologies, including perilunate and radiocarpal dislocations, and fracture-dislocations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of carpal dislocations.
  • To detail the anatomy, injury patterns, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of these injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Review of carpal dislocation literature.
  • Categorization of dislocations into five main types.
  • Discussion of associated anatomy and diagnostic modalities.

Main Results:

  • Carpal dislocations encompass diverse injury patterns.
