Radiocarpal septum after trauma.

M A Wehbé, D Karasick

    The Journal of Hand Surgery
    |July 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Trauma and surgical repair can create a radiocarpal septum, dividing the wrist joint. Resecting this septum may reveal carpal instability requiring further ligamentous reconstruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Musculoskeletal System Anatomy

    Background:

    • Traumatic wrist injuries can necessitate surgical intervention, including open reduction and pinning.
    • Post-traumatic joint morphology alterations are a known complication in orthopedic cases.

    Observation:

    • A patient developed a radiocarpal septum after trauma and surgical fixation.
    • This septum divided the radiocarpal joint into two separate compartments.

    Findings:

    • Simple resection of the radiocarpal septum was insufficient to restore joint stability.
    • The underlying carpal instability became apparent only after septum removal, necessitating ligamentous reconstruction.

    Implications:

    • Radiocarpal septa formation is a potential complication following wrist trauma and surgery.

  • Carpal instability may be masked by a radiocarpal septum and revealed upon its removal.
  • Comprehensive assessment and management of ligamentous integrity are crucial in such cases.
