Isolated Volar Dislocation of Distal Radio-ulnar Joint: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Bone and Joint Diseases - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Introduction: Any dislocation of distal radio-ulnar joint is a rare injury especially when it is not associated with any fractures. A detailed history, careful physical examination, proper radiographic imaging along with a high index of suspicion is required to diagnose these injuries. Case Report: We report a case of 40-year-old women, who sustained an acute volar dislocation of the distal radio-ulnar joint. Dislocation was reduced under general anesthesia followed by above elbow plaster of Paris (POP) slab. Conclusion: Most of the case report reported in literature are managed same as our treatment by closed reduction and above elbow POP slab. Only a few case reports have described the management of these volar dislocations with open reduction and repair in the past 60 years.
