ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) represents the most common compressive neuropathy of the upper limb (1). There are a myriad of causes of CTS, of which carpal fractures and dislocations are known aetiologies. Volar lunate dislocations are the most common carpal dislocations described (1). Approximately 25% of perilunate dislocations are missed on initial presentation, resulting in delayed diagnosis and likely poorer outcomes (1-3). A case of chronic lunate dislocation presenting as CTS is presented here to highlight diagnostic pitfalls and management options.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Subtalar dislocations were first described by Judey and Dufaurest in 1811. These dislocations represent only 1-2% of all joint dislocations, making them a rare injury. In this rare injury, there are four variations with differing clinical presentations. The clinical picture may vary from a dramatic deformity (as in medial and lateral dislocations) to a more subtle presentation (as in anterior and posterior dislocations). This case series highlights the variations in clinical presentations and the management difficulties associated with each subtype.


RESUMEN Las dislocaciones subtalares fueron por primera vez descritas por Judey y Dufaurest en 1811. Estas dislocaciones representan solamente el 1-2% de todas las dislocaciones de las articulaciones, por lo que constituye una lesión poco frecuente. Esta rara lesión se caracteriza por cuatro variaciones con presentaciones clínicas que difieren. El cuadro clínico puede variar desde una deformidad dramática (tal cual ocurre en las dislocaciones intermedias y laterales) hasta una presentación más sutil (como en el caso de las dislocaciones anteriores y posteriores). Esta serie de casos destaca las variaciones en las presentaciones clínicas y las dificultades en el tratamiento asociado con cada subtipo.
