Fractures involving the lunate facet of the distal radius (commonly called the volar ulnar corner or "critical corner") are often difficult to recognize radiographically. "Lunate facet escape" refers to the displacement of this fragment after attempted distal radius fracture closed or open reduction methods. Lunate facet escape can have severe consequences including carpal collapse with pain, instability, and arthritis.

Isolated unilateral absence of lunate is an extremely rare condition with only one such case reported in English literature so far. The rarity of this condition can lead to diagnostic dilemma, especially if patient has an old history of trauma or surgery around the wrist, leading to unnecessary intervention and difficulty in ensuring a good surgical outcome. We present such a case and discuss the clinical pointers to the diagnosis of this condition.

Concomitant severe radiocarpal (RC) arthritis with asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) arthritis can be debilitating for patients. Surgical management of these combined arthritides can pose a dilemma for surgeons and patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate patients with concomitant RC and DRUJ arthritides who underwent only total wrist arthrodesis (TWA) to determine the need for subsequent surgical management of preoperative asymptomatic/minimally symptomatic DRUJ arthritis.

The Essex-Lopresti pattern of injury comprises radial head fracture, distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocation and disruption of the interosseus membrane (IOM). Diagnosis is often delayed, and reconstruction remains a management dilemma, with several proposed techniques addressing the radial head via either replacement or fixation; reconstruction of the DRUJ ligaments via anatomic or non-anatomic methods; and IOM reconstruction with synthetic grafts, allograft or autograft. We present a 26-year-old man with a chronic Essex-Lopresti injury who underwent revision ulnar shortening osteotomy (USO), IOM reconstruction using a brachioradialis graft and an Adams-Berger ligament reconstruction of the DRUJ ligaments following a three-year course of increasing pain and instability following radial head dislocation.
