Bensaka Mohammed in Journal of Clinical Case Reports, Medical Images and Health Sciences  Introduction: Radiocarpal dislocations and fractures are rare and serious injuries of the wrist (0.2% of dislocations) always occurring during significant trauma. They are defined by a total or partial loss of contact of the carpus with the distal articular surface of the radius; unlike fractures of the distal radius, perilunate dislocations of the carpus or sprains (scapholunate or triquetra-lunate) where the entire carpus always remains centered under the distal radial epiphysis (only the semilunate is dislocated in perilunate carpal dislocations).

By definition, pure marginal fracturedislocations were excluded The analysis of the literature made it possible to sp...
