Introduction And Importance: Transstyloid radiocarpal dislocation is a rare injury. It is due to high-energy trauma. It usually associates a radiocarpal dislocation, a fracture of the radial and/or cubital styloid process, and a cortical volar/dorsal margin avulsion.
Case Presentation: We present a case of a 31-year-old male who sustained a fell from a 4 m height causing a transstyloid radiocarpal dislocation. He was treated with a radial styloid process pinning and wrist arthrorisis with and splint immobilization.
Clinical Discussion: Different treatment options can be available for this type of injury with or without ligaments reconstruction.
Conclusion: Although it is rare, the transstyloid radiocarpal dislocation has a good outcome with different types of treatment.

To measure the life quality, clinical-functional outcomes of a patient who had undergone acute reconstruction of radio scapho capitate (RSC), radio lunate (RLL) ligaments, using brachiorradialis tendon in treatment of radiocarpal fracture dislocation. 21-years-old, man with radiocarpal fracture dislocation in his left wrist, after motorcycle accident. Percutaneous screw fixation of the distal radius and acute reconstruction of the RSC and RLL was performed, assisted by arthroscopy.

Article Synopsis
- Longitudinal forearm instability, or Essex-Lopresti syndrome, is characterized by a combination of radial head fractures and ruptured connective structures between the radius and ulna, which often goes unnoticed initially.
- Prompt treatment within 4 weeks is important to prevent complications, involving procedures like rigid radial head replacement and surgical repair of surrounding tissues
- If treatment is delayed beyond 4 weeks, more complex interventions are needed, including reconstruction of the interosseous membrane, with less certain outcomes.
Radiocarpal Fracture Dislocations: A Retrospective Review on Operative Fixation and Postoperative Range of Motion.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on the outcomes of patients treated for radiocarpal dislocation (RCD) and radiocarpal fracture dislocation (RCFD) from 2013 to 2022, involving 17 cases reviewed for injury details and treatment response.
- - Most patients had dorsal dislocations, with a majority classified under Moneim type I and Dumontier type II; follow-ups showed limited range of motion improvements and several complications requiring additional surgeries.
- - The findings suggest RCD and RCFD are rare but complex injuries; with appropriate treatment, patients often return to work and regain functional movement despite the challenges.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of using a Ni-Ti memory alloy tripod fixator to treat Kienböck disease in 22 patients over a follow-up period of more than 10 years.
- Data on patient demographics, operation specifics, and outcomes were collected, including measurements of wrist function, pain levels, and radiographic changes before and after surgery.
- Results showed that the fixation method led to satisfactory wrist fusion, reduced pain, and improved wrist function over the long term without significant complications during the surgery.
