“…These instabilities result from tears of ligaments joining the proximal and distal carpal rows to the radius and ulna, allowing collapse malalignments of the proximal and distal carpal rowswith respect to each other. Of 1,000 cases of traumatic instabilities of the wrist reviewed by Dobyns et al, 60-70 % were due to old and new scaphoid fractures, 10% to traumatic instabilities of the type being discussed here, 10% were from dorsal carpal chip fractures, and 10% were miscellaneous carpal bone fractures (5,40).…”

Dorsiflexion, palmar flexion, ulnar translocation, and dorsal carpal subluxation are four, not uncommon, post-traumatic carpal ligamentous instabilities. Palmar carpal subluxation is a theoretical possibility. Dorsiflexion and palmar flexion instabilities are named for the way the distal lunate articular surface dorsally and palmarly, respectively. Ulnar translocation, and dorsal and ventral carpal subluxations are named according to movement of the entire carpus at the radiocarpal joint. Early detection of traumatic carpal instabilities is necessary to encourage optimal treatment of these significant carpal malalignments. These and other patients with disabling wrist problems may be evaluated by a "ligamentous instability series."
