title: [A hockey player with displacement of the wrist].
abstract: A 17-year-old boy had a painful left wrist after he fell while playing hockey. Examination showed volar displacement of the distal part of the ulna; the ulnar styloid prominence was absent. X-rays showed isolated volar displacement of the distal ulna. The diagnosis 'distal radio-ulnar joint dislocation' was made. Treatment consisted of K-wire fixation and an upper arm cast. He reached functional recovery.
