Unlabelled: Isolated dislocations of the carpal scaphoid are extremely rare injuries, often associated with significant ligamentous disruptions. Consequently, treatment strategies can be conflicting and varied, ranging from closed reduction and percutaneous fixation to open reduction with internal fixation and/or ligamentous reconstruction.Typically caused by high-energy trauma, these injuries frequently present alongside associated carpal fractures. As a result, only a few cases of isolated scaphoid dislocations have been reported in the literature.We present the case of a 30-year-old male with an isolated scaphoid dislocation managed with open reduction, internal Kirschner wire fixation, and ligamentous repair. At the two-year follow-up, the patient had successfully returned to work and resumed all desired activities.Early diagnosis and appropriate management are critical to improving the prognosis of isolated scaphoid dislocations.
Level Of Evidence: Level VI.

Case: We present a case of 20-year-old male with an isolated scaphoid dislocation and scapholunate ligament injury of the wrist, diagnosed and repaired in an acute setting with k wires and suture anchor augmentation. At 1 year follow up patient complained of no pain and returned to work without any limitations, with no signs of avascular necrosis of the scaphoid on imaging.
Conclusion: In acute trauma injuries involving multiple joints, these subtle injuries are often missed, which ultimately leads to degenerative changes.

A die punch fracture is an intra-articular fracture of the distal radius characterized by a localized depression of the articular surface, typically occurring in the lunate fossa. Misdiagnosis or incorrect management can lead to articular malunion. While die punch fractures in the scaphoid fossa are less common, their nascent malunions pose significant treatment challenges.

Osteoarthritis of the scaphotrapeziotrapezoidal joint is frequent but often pain-free or well tolerated with non-surgical treatment. Surgical options are numerous and none seems to have clear evidence of superiority. In addition to well-established procedures, such as scaphotrapeziotrapezoidal joint arthrodesis, distal scaphoid resection and trapeziectomy, more recent surgical techniques have been reported.

Article Synopsis
- A study investigates the occurrence of asymptomatic triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) changes in patients who underwent wrist MRIs for reasons other than ulnar-sided wrist pain.
- Of the 132 patients reviewed, 44% showed TFCC abnormalities on MRI, while 80% of those with ulnar-sided pain had similar findings.
- The results emphasize the need to consider a patient's symptoms alongside MRI findings, as many with non-painful TFCC changes might be identified in routine scans.
