Resumen

OQUENDO VAZQUEZ, Pablo; FERRER LOZANO, Yovanni; DUQUE ALFONSO, Y  y  MOREJON TROFIMOVA, Y. Isolated Dislocation of the Scaphoid. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2016, vol.30, n.1, pp.134-139. ISSN 0864-215X.

The orderly functioning of the hand plays a key role for the development of human life. In modern society injuries at this level are a frequent cause of functional disability, despite its low incidence. A case of a white, male patient, 38, attended by the emergency department after a high-energy trauma with forced hyperflexion of the wrist is presented here. An isolated dislocation of the scaphoid is diagnosed and it is reduced under anesthesia using the image intensifier. It is immobilized for 6 weeks with brachial splint, taking first finger, and then the rehabilitation process begins. The timely and proper treatment of this condition is essential to obtain the best results in functional recovery.

Palabras clave : scaphoid; dislocation; high-energy trauma.
