Fall On Out-Stretched Hand (FOOSH)Most injuries to the wrist are due to one

common mechanismPerhaps THE most common injury

1-in-6 ER fractures occur in the distal radius*Humans are a clumsy speciesWe walk uprightWe’re top heavyWhen falling, we instinctively protect our head, byExtending our armStriking the ground with our hand

This mechanism of injury is perhaps UNIQUE to humans

Slide 62 of 131

Abraham Colles (1773-1843)

“The injury to which I wish to direct the attention ofsurgeons, had not, as far as I know, been described byany author.”

“I should consider this as by far the most commoninjury to which the wrist or carpal extremities of theradius and ulnar are exposed.”

To avoid non-unionAVNPRCAll scaphoid fxs require early treatment!Probably with a screw if displacedAt least with a splint or cast if non-displaced

But non-displaced fractures are hard to see because they are non-displaced

So how do we know if a patient has a non-displaced scaphoid fracture?

Have patient follow-up in 2 weeksGet repeat radiographs (out of the cast/splint)We’re taught occult fxs become visible after 1-2 weeks

from bone resorption at fx margins… I’m not sure it’s true…

Re-examine… if still tender… back into the splintIf you really need to know…MRI (we don’t miss fractures on MRI)

Slide 110 of 131

Lunate/Perilunate/Mid-Carpal DislocationsComprise ~10% of all wrist injuries “Because the subtlety of wrist injuries often is not

appreciated fully, many believe that perilunate injuries in general are underdiagnosed.”

I maintain they shouldn’t be underdiagnosed if recognize the importance of the lateral view!

61% also have scaphoid fracturesSCAPHOID BRIDGES CARPAL ROWS! “Trans-Scaphoid Perilunate Fracture Dislocation”Anytime we see one of these carpal dislocations,

need to look for the accompanying scaphoid fx!emedicine.com
