| Abstract | PURPOSE: In this retrospective, nonrandomized study, we evaluated the clinical outcomes of percutaneous screw and K-wire fixation in the treatment of acute transscaphoid perilunate fracture dislocation. METHODS: Between 2004 and 2009, we studied 24 patients treated by fixation with a 2.0-mm (0.078-in) axial K-wire across the capitolunate joint and a percutaneous screw (3.0-mm AO cannulated screws were used in 13 patients, and Herbert-Whipple screws were used in 11 patients) within 7 days of the injury. We performed a comparative radiographic assessment of the scapholunate angle, radiolunate angle, capitolunate angle, revised carpal height ratio, and gap between the scapholunate joint between the injured wrist and the contralateral, healthy wrist. Clinical outcomes were evaluated on the basis of range of motion, pain, functional status, and Mayo scores. RESULTS: Twenty-three patients (96%) achieved scaphoid union at a mean union time of 18 weeks (range, 14-28 wk). Radiographic assessments revealed no statistically significant difference between the injured wrist and the contralateral, healthy wrist. However, significant differences were noted in the mean range of motion during flexion and forearm supination between the injured wrist and contralateral healthy wrist. The mean wrist function results were encouraging, and the average Mayo score was 83. CONCLUSIONS: A percutaneous procedure involving screw fixation for the scaphoid fracture and an axial K-wire fixation for intercarpal dislocation is a successful treatment for acute transscaphoid perilunate fracture dislocation. TYPE OF STUDY/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognostic III. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
