Traumatic carpal instability.

P Van Schil, C De Smet

    The Journal of Trauma
    |October 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Two patterns of traumatic carpal instability, palmar flexion intercalated segmental instability (PISI) and dorsiflexion intercalated segmental instability (DISI), can be treated with specific interventions. Identifying underlying causes is crucial for effective management of these wrist conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Hand Surgery
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Traumatic carpal instability presents distinct patterns impacting wrist function.
    • Understanding these patterns is key for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

    Observation:

    • Two case reports illustrate palmar flexion intercalated segmental instability (PISI) and dorsiflexion intercalated segmental instability (DISI) deformities.
    • PISI deformity, less common, may necessitate Kirschner wire fixation and plaster immobilization.
    • DISI deformity with malunion might require corrective osteotomy.

    Findings:

    • Specific treatment modalities are indicated for PISI and DISI deformities.
    • Early identification of etiological factors is paramount for successful outcomes.

    Implications:

    • Tailored treatment strategies based on instability patterns can improve patient prognosis.
    • Further research into the underlying causes of carpal instability is warranted.
