Flail Chest-I

Overview of Flail Chest
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact.

Background:

Isolated pisiform dislocation is an uncommon wrist injury.
Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for optimal outcomes.

Observation:

A case of isolated pisiform dislocation in a 20-year-old male following direct wrist trauma is presented.
Initial diagnosis was delayed, and closed reduction attempts were unsuccessful.

Findings:

The patient underwent successful surgical resection of the pisiform bone.
At 12-month follow-up, the patient achieved full wrist range of motion.
No residual pain was reported post-surgery.

Implications:

Pisiform resection is a viable treatment option for irreducible isolated pisiform dislocations.
