Case: A 32-year-old man presented to the emergency department with several carpal bone fractures and a locked distal pisiform dislocation after trauma. Treatment consisted of open surgical and reduction, osteosynthesis with a single Kirschner wire, and ligament repair. The patient's functional outcome was excellent, and his Mayo wrist score was 90 at 36 months after injury.
Conclusions: Pisiform dislocations may be difficult to diagnose because anteroposterior and lateral radiographs may not be sufficient to visualize the injury. A 30° semisupinated wrist x-ray and computed tomography can be helpful. A satisfactory clinical result may be achieved if distal pisiform dislocations are detected early and managed surgically with open reduction and ligament repair.

We present the case of a 14-year-old patient who suffered fracture dislocation of the pisiform bone (PB) along with fractures of the scaphoid, proximal radius, and proximal phalanx of the thumb due to high-energy trauma directly to the extended wrist. This combination of fractures has not been previously reported in the literature. Currently, there is no consensus in the literature regarding the optimal treatment approach for such cases.

Isolated pisiform dislocation is an uncommon condition, with a limited number of cases reported in the literature. We present a unique case of a 15-year-old male who experienced an atraumatic isolated dislocation of the pisiform bone in his left wrist and presented with pain, deformity, and ulnar nerve palsy in his little and ring fingers. Radiographic investigations confirmed the diagnosis of isolated pisiform dislocation, and the patient successfully underwent an open reduction, stabilization of pisiform, and exploration of the ulnar nerve.

Flexor tendon entrapments as a result of fractures or dislocations in the upper extremity are rare. Diagnosis by clinical examination is not always possible, and imaging such as magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound is often obtained. These modalities have the disadvantages of reduced sensitivity or increased cost and time, respectively.
