An Anusual Varıety Of Sımultaneous Fracture Pattern: Fracture Of Radıus(Colles) Wıth Scaphoıdeum And Capıtatum

Abstract

The association of a capitate fracture with a scaphoid fracture has been termed the naviculocapitate syndrome. The existence of some nondisplaced fractures of scaphoid and capitate with or without the fracture of lunate or radius suggests that there is a spectrum of these injuries, and this confuses the terminology. With our case; we want to report an unusual variety of this naviculocapitate syndrome with distal radial colles fracture addition to the nondisplaced fractures of scaphoid and capitate and the dorsal lip of radial fracture. When we look at the literature there is no another colles fracture reported together with undisplaced scaphocapitate syndrome. The coronal and sagittal images that obtained from the MDCT(Multidedector computed tomography) is useful and effective imaging modality in using the diagnose of complex wrist fractures with more details that are not dedected in X-rays.
