Abstract:
Isolated pisiform dislocation is an uncommon condition, with a limited number of cases reported in the literature. We present a unique case of a 15-year-old male who experienced an atraumatic isolated dislocation of the pisiform bone in his left wrist and presented with pain, deformity, and ulnar nerve palsy in his little and ring fingers. Radiographic investigations confirmed the diagnosis of isolated pisiform dislocation, and the patient successfully underwent an open reduction, stabilization of pisiform, and exploration of the ulnar nerve.
