title: [Bilateral radiocarpal dislocation with fracture of the radial styloid. A case report].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Radiocarpal dislocation is a rare injury and thus the number of cases described is limited. The course of the injury is favorable when the treatment provided is appropriate.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 21-year-old male patient who sustained radiocarpal dislocation and fracture of the radial styloid process in both wrists. He was treated with closed reduction and external fixation. The evaluation at 3 months showed favorable results.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case is one of the few similar cases reported because it is an uncommon pathology and it is even less frequent because the injury involves both wrists.
