Abstract
We present an unusual case involving the simultaneous dislocation of the trans scapho retro lunate in the right wrist and a posterio-lateral dislocation in the right elbow joint in a 23-year-old male. These injuries occurred when he fell onto his outstretched right hand. The elbow dislocation was successfully treated using a closed reduction method. External manipulation was employed to reduce the transscaphoid perilunate dislocation, which was subsequently stabilized through percutaneous screw fixation of the scaphoid using a triquetrum-lunate pin. Additionally, a styloid pin was utilized to address and manage a distal radius fracture, followed by the implementation of a radiometacarpal external fixator. After one year and three months, the patient reported no pain in his elbow and minimal wrist discomfort during heavy lifting.
