Isolated dorsal radiocarpal dislocation: case report and literature review.

A 35-year-old woman sustained an injury to her right wrist that caused a dorsal radiocarpal dislocation with an avulsion fracture of the ulnar styloid process without radial fracture, but with a dorsiflexed intercalated segment instability (DISI) pattern of the carpus. Treatment consisted of debridement, exploration of the wound, closed reduction of the dislocation, and immobilization for 4 weeks. Six months later, she had recovered satisfactorily.
