Abstract:
We report a unique pattern of an axial radial fracture dislocation of the carpus. The fracture dislocation line runs transtrapezial peritrapezoidal transcapital transmetacarpal III/IV. Open reduction and internal fixation was performed 11 days after the accident. The result at 9 months is moderate, with a range of motion of 63% and strength of 46% compared to the opposite side.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.

Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi radialis,...
