Research progress in the diagnosis and treatment of radiocarpal fracture-dislocation / 中华创伤杂志

ABSTRACT

Radiocarpal fracture-dislocation (RFD) is a rare injury normally associated with the destruction of bones, joints and ligaments. The improper diagnosis and treatment of RFD will cause severe complications and affect the long-term function of wrist joints. The difficulties of clinical diagnosis and treatment lie in the accurate diagnosis, identification and reconstruction of the structure of specific injury. As the foreign and domestic literatures are mainly case analyses or systemic case reports rather than large-scale reports, there still lacks a systemic knowledge of the standard diagnosis and treatment of RFD clinically, thus leading to problems such as missed diagnosed or misdiagnosed, improper application of treatment methods and incomplete reconstruction. Therefore, the authors reviewed relevant literatures about the features, diagnosis and treatment of RFD, in order to provide references for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of RFD.
