Abstract
We present a 24-year-old woman who sustained isolated nondisplaced fractures of the proximal carpal row after a low-energy injury. The radiographic features are most consistent with the recently described translunate arc injury and appear to be a transitional injury between an inferior arc injury as well as the greater and lesser arc injuries. The injury was successfully treated with below-elbow thumb-spica cast immobilization for 10 weeks.
