Abstract

Early palmar carpal instability with proximal row collapse into flexion after a distal radial fracture is rarely reported. Fracture reduction alone may not restore alignment, whereas dorsal capsuloligamentous reinforcement may achieve stability, underscoring the importance of early recognition and combined treatment.<b>Level of evidence:</b> V.
