Isolated palmar dislocation of distal radioulnar joint is a rare injury. It can easily lead to misdiagnosis. Previous literature reports were all rotation violence. We reported a patient with direct impact violence.
We report a 31-year-old male laborer presented to our hospital with an acute trauma. Severe tenderness and limited mobility were seen in his right wrist. He received an x-ray film examination and diagnosed as the isolated palmar dislocation of distal radioulnar joint. The treatment was closed reduction and splint fixation. After half a year, the patient gained a functional recovery of his previously afflicted wrist.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of isolated palmar dislocation of distal radioulnar joint caused by a direct impact violence. Patients and physicians should be aware of the properties of this mechanism of injury so that early diagnosis and treatment can be achieved.
单纯性下尺桡关节掌侧脱位较为少见,易误诊。既往文献报道均为旋转暴力所致,我们报告 1 例直接撞击暴力所致的单纯性下尺桡关节掌侧脱位。
我们报告了 1 例 31 岁男性劳动者,因急性创伤就诊。其右手腕部有严重压痛和活动受限。行 X 线片检查,诊断为单纯性下尺桡关节掌侧脱位。给予闭合复位和夹板固定。半年后,患者患腕功能恢复良好。
据我们所知,这是首例由直接撞击暴力引起的单纯性下尺桡关节掌侧脱位。患者和医生都应该了解这种损伤机制的特点,以便做到早期诊断和治疗。
