ABSTRACT
Isolated dislocation of the carpal scaphoid is an extremely rare injury, which is usually accompanied by significant ligamento-capsular lesions. A review of the literature found only 21 reported cases. The aim of this report is to present a single case of isolated radio-palmar dislocation of the scaphoid treated conservatively, which provided a good functional result at 10 years follow up.

Ipsilateral radial head dislocation with radial shaft fracture is a rare injury. A few cases have been reported in the literature. We report the case of a 39-year-old man who presented with a radial shaft fracture and ipsilateral dislocation of the radial head caused by hyperpronation trauma of the forearm with hyperflexion of the elbow. The dislocation was reduced by manipulation after open reduction of the radial shaft fracture, which was then fixed with a plate. The clinical and radiological outcome was good with 2 years follow-up.
