Abstract

We report a unique pattern of an axial radial fracture dislocation of the carpus. The fracture dislocation line runs transtrapezial peritrapezoidal transcapital transmetacarpal III/IV. Open reduction and internal fixation was performed 11 days after the accident. The result at 9 months is moderate, with a range of motion of 63% and strength of 46% compared to the opposite side.
