Popis: The Authors report a retrospective series of eight cases of posterior radiocarpal fracture-dislocation. Average age of patients was 32 years (23/54), with a male predominance (7 men and a woman). Injury was often due to a fall on the hand in extension from an elevated place (5/8). The wrist in back of fork is the characteristic deformity. Diagnosis was confirmed by AP and lateral views of the wrist. Radial styloïd fracture, posterior dislocation of the carpus and posterior rim avulsion were constant. Ulnar styloïd fracture was present in half of the cases and distal radio-ulnar dislocation in two cases. Four patients were treated conservatively and four surgically. Whatever the treatment choice, results are satisfactory at a short follow-up. The two patients presenting a distal radio-ulnar dislocation resulted in a bad result.
