title: [Open intercarpal palmar dislocation fracture with capitate fracture--stabilization by external fixation].
abstract: A case of open carpal dislocation fracture not previously described is reported on. Reduction and stabilization of the dislocation were successfully performed using external fixation without additional Kirschner wires. Despite extensive trauma, hand function is now excellent, and there are no signs of residual carpal instability.
