Abstract
The authors report the case of a dorsal, closed, radiocarpal dislocation with a small posterior marginal fracture of the radius, in an 85-year-old woman, without violent trauma (fall from her height). The dislocation was reduced by traction and the wrist immobilized in a plaster cast for 6 weeks. Six months after the accident, the patient had resumed her activities without pain with a diminished range of motion. This dislocation is exceptional at this age. In our case, the functional outcome was good after orthopaedic treatment.
