Transstyloid radiocarpal dislocation: A case report

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Transstyloid radiocarpal dislocation is a rare injury. It is due to high-energy trauma. It usually associates a radiocarpal dislocation, a fracture of the radial and/or cubital styloid process, and a cortical volar/dorsal margin avulsion. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a 31-year-old male who sustained a fell from a 4 m height causing a transstyloid radiocarpal dislocation. He was treated with a radial styloid process pinning and wrist arthrorisis with and splint immobilization. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Different treatment options can be available for this type of injury with or without ligaments reconstruction. CONCLUSION: Although it is rare, the transstyloid radiocarpal dislocation has a good outcome with different types of treatment.
