Abstrakt: Background: Radiocarpal fractures and dislocations are rarely described in the literature. However, the consequences at the functional level are severe, with the loss of almost half of the articular amplitude. The most widespread classification is that of Dumontier, which divides the injury into two categories according to the presence or absence of a fracture. Currently, no classification considers fracture-dislocations in a global and multi-tissue manner; therefore, no therapeutic strategy has been reported.
Methods: We conducted an exhaustive bibliographic search for cohort or case report articles concerning radiocarpal fracture-dislocations published between 1990 and the present. Only descriptions of the injury were identified (noting the type of fracture, direction of displacement and carpal injuries).
Results: In all, data were collected from 14 retrospective series and 16 case reports involving 218 patients. Thirty-five and 183 cases involved anterior and posterior displacement, respectively. A fracture of the distal radius was found in 183 cases and 35 cases had a dislocation only, with no significant fracture. Among the posterior displacements, 44 isolated styloid fractures, 62 styloid and posterior marginal fractures, 29 bimarginal fractures (large anterior fragment and small posterior fragment) and 31 fractures of all the fragments described by Medoff with impaction of the central pavement were found. Anterior displacement fractures were found in 17 cases (styloid and/or anterior marginal fracture). We were able to group the different traumatic clinical forms according to a six-category classification.
Discussion: A review of the literature highlighted three major components in the management of radiocarpal fracture-dislocations: the bone component, the ligament component and the associated intracarpal lesions. These three components were included in our classification and allowed us to accurately describe all types of radiocarpal fracture-dislocations published in the literature. Authors currently agree on management of the bone component but disagree on that of the ligament component. Particular attention should be paid to intracarpal lesions, which lead to poor outcomes if ignored. Based on our biographical research, we propose a management plan for these complex injuries.
