Abstract

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.

期刊介绍： Trauma Case Reports is the only open access, online journal dedicated to the publication of case reports in all aspects of trauma care and accident surgery. Case reports on all aspects of trauma management, surgical procedures for all tissues, resuscitation, anaesthesia and trauma and tissue healing will be considered for publication by the international editorial team and will be subject to peer review. Bringing together these cases from an international authorship will shed light on surgical problems and help in their effective resolution.
