Abstract:
The axial fracture dislocation of the carpal bones is a poorly understood injury. These injuries are often associated with nerve injuries, soft tissue injuries, and amputations. An optimal treatment is not yet known. We present a rare case of an open trans-scaphoid axial fracture dislocation of the carpus, characterized by a unique mechanism of injury. The patient received timely treatment, including irrigation and debridement, as well as reduction and fixation of the carpal fracture dislocation. It is essential to understand that these injuries tend to result in poor clinical outcomes, even with optimal treatment. Therefore, engaging in meaningful discussions and setting realistic expectations with patients is imperative.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

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.
