Abstract

[Indexed for MEDLINE] 9. Medicina (Kaunas). 2024 Mar 25;60(4):532. doi: 10.3390/medicina60040532. Fracture Dislocation of the Pisiform Bone in 14-Year-Old Boy-A Case Report. Procházka O(1), Sánchez T(1), Kašpárková K(1). Author information: (1)Department of Hand Surgery, Canton Hospital Olten, 4600 Olten, Switzerland. We present the case of a 14-year-old patient who suffered fracture dislocation of the pisiform bone (PB) along with fractures of the scaphoid, proximal radius, and proximal phalanx of the thumb due to high-energy trauma directly to the extended wrist. This combination of fractures has not been previously reported in the literature. Currently, there is no consensus in the literature regarding the optimal treatment approach for such cases. In our management, initial attempts at closed and open reduction were unsuccessful, leading to the decision for primary pisiformectomy. Our report includes a follow-up of 3.5 years, demonstrating a very good outcome. Based on this case and a few similar published cases, primary pisiformectomy appears to be a viable and well-accepted option, particularly among young patients. Additionally, we conducted a review of radiographic criteria and management strategies for this specific injury and related conditions. DOI: 10.3390/medicina60040532 PMCID: PMC11052046
