Abstract

We present an unusual case of carpal dislocation which to our knowledge has not previously been described in any of the current classifications of such injuries. Despite the extensive damage sustained, the case was managed without difficulty and outcome has been very satisfactory.

The radiological anatomy of the scaphoid. Part 2: Radiology.

The complex shape of the scaphoid and its orientation within the carpus makes the radiological interpretation of scaphoid anatomy difficult. To improve our understanding of how the anatomy appears on plain X-ray, a study was performed using dry cadaver bones. Salient anatomical features were outlined using radiopaque markers, the bones set in wax blocks and the blocks X-rayed in the same axis as six "standard" scaphoid views. The pictures obtained were then compared with clinical X-rays.
