Abstract

We present an unusual case of carpal dislocation which to our knowledge has not previously been described in any of the current classifications of such injuries. Despite the extensive damage sustained, the case was managed without difficulty and outcome has been very satisfactory.

MRI of bilateral bipartite hamulus: a case report.

Normal skeletal variants are a common occurrence in clinical practice and may lead to misinterpretation. As part of a case control study investigating the carpal tunnel, our asymptomatic and voluntary participant underwent magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of both wrists from the metacarpal bases to the distal radiocarpal joint. The imaging techniques included spin echo (SE), turbo spin echo (TSE) and fast field echo (FFE) sequences using 4 mm-slice thickness. As an incidental finding bipartite hamulus was detected bilaterally. The anomaly was evident in both hamuli with similar MRI characteristics. The congenital origin was further supported by the absence of trauma or surgery to the wrists. In this case report the authors discuss the anatomical variant, bilateral bipartite hook of the hamate, and demonstrate the reliability of contiguous slices of MR axial slices in displaying an anatomical variant of the carpus. This normal variant of the hamate is not commonly encountered in MR imaging of the wrist and can be misinterpreted as fracture or post-traumatic sequelae. Images of the normal hamulus are presented for comparison.

Selective motor neuropathy of the median nerve caused by a ganglion in the carpal tunnel.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the commonest peripheral compressive neuropathy. Typically, sensory symptoms predominate at presentation with motor dysfunction seen in more chronic cases. Isolated motor compression is rare. We present a case of selective median nerve motor neuropathy caused by a carpal tunnel ganglion.

Osteomyelitis of the scaphoid with sequestration of the primary ossification centre.

An 8-year-old boy presented with Staphylococcus aureus osteomyelitis affecting the left (non-dominant) scaphoid. Surgical drainage resulted in the expulsion of the primary ossification centre as a sequestrum. Seven years later the wrist function was minimally impaired and X-rays showed complete ossification of the cartilage remnant with a relatively normal scaphoid.
