ABSTRACT

Radiocarpal fracture-dislocation is a high-energy wrist injury which produces joint incongruence between the radius and the carpus. It´s frequently in young patients and is usually secondary to falls from height, automobile or industrial accidents. The diagnosis is made through simple radiographic studies, but they require a high level of suspicion and anatomical knowledge of the region. The treatment is based on achieving a congruent reduction of the radiocarpal joint, as well as an early and adequate management of ligament and bone lesions. Post-injury prognosis for mobility is adequate, but depends on restore joint stability, otherwise the patient will present early osteoarthritis.
