    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Radiology
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Rotatory subluxation of the scaphoid is an uncommon wrist abnormality.
    • It is often difficult to diagnose and can lead to severe radio-carpal arthritis if mismanaged.

    Observation:

    • This condition can complicate wrist trauma, particularly in the context of lunate-perilunate dislocations.
    • It may also occur without trauma, associated with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and Kienböck's disease.

    Findings:

    • The paper discusses the underlying mechanisms of scaphoid rotatory subluxation.
    • Eight illustrative cases highlight the varied presentations, symptoms, and diagnostic challenges.

    Implications:

    • Emphasizes the critical importance of early diagnosis for scaphoid rotatory subluxation.
