Summary
This case study details locked scapholunate instability, a rare wrist injury where the scaphoid bone dislocates. Early identification and understanding of ligamentous injury are crucial for successful treatment.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Hand Surgery
- Radiology
Background:
- Locked scapholunate instability involves proximal scaphoid pole dislocation, an advanced stage of scapholunate instability.
- This condition, often acute and missed, represents an early phase of perilunate instability.
- It is characterized by the scaphoid's proximal pole dislocating, leading to significant wrist dysfunction.
