Scaphoid-trapezium-trapezoid (STT) dislocation, often from crush hand injuries, can be treated effectively with closed reduction and pinning if soft tissues are intact. However, patients may develop wrist stiffness and reduced thumb abduction due to midcarpal osteoarthritis.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hand Surgery
  • Trauma Care

Background:

  • Scaphoid-trapezium-trapezoid (STT) dislocation is a rare injury, often resulting from high-energy trauma.
  • Understanding the outcomes of STT dislocations is crucial for effective patient management.

Observation:

  • The study presents five cases of STT dislocation resulting from crush injuries to the hand.
  • Initial treatment involved closed reduction and pinning for cases without significant soft tissue damage.

Findings:

  • Successful functional outcomes were achieved with closed reduction and pinning in STT dislocations without associated soft tissue damage.
  • A notable complication observed was the development of lateral midcarpal osteoarthritis, leading to reduced thumb abduction and wrist stiffness.

Implications:

  • Non-operative management, including closed reduction and pinning, can yield good functional results for select STT dislocations.
  • Long-term monitoring for osteoarthritis is recommended following STT dislocation to manage potential functional deficits like reduced thumb mobility and wrist stiffness.
