Abstract
Scaphoid dislocation is an uncommon entity of the carpal injuries that has been rarely reported in the literature. We report a case of a 41-year-old right-handed male who presented with a partial palmar scaphoid dislocation following a motor vehicle accident. Closed reduction was successfully performed and an immobilization by a short arm thumb cast has been maintained for 6 weeks. The last follow-up X-rays showed no evidence of redislocation, malunion or avascular necrosis. Our patient returned to his daily activities without any limitations. This case report emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and orthopedic treatment for improved prognosis.
