title: Trans-scaphoid, Transcapitate, Transhamate Injury: A Case Report.
abstract: Traumatic axial dislocation of the carpus in a 20-year-old man is described. This injury was accompanied by a crushing injury to the hand. The disruption pattern was different from those of previously reported cases. Despite the restoration of painless wrist motion postoperatively, grip strength remained below normal. Early accurate reduction, fixation, and range of motion exercise are the treatments of choice in such complex injuries.
