Ulnar translocation instability of the carpus after a dorsal radiocarpal dislocation: a case report.
An unusual case of ulnar translocation of the carpus after a radiocarpal dislocation is described. Persistent instability was noted despite attempted reattachment of the avulsed palmar capsuloligamentous structures. A successful outcome occurred after radiolunate arthrodesis and external fixation of the wrist.
