Objectives/Interrogation: A new classification proposal based on observation of 40 radiocarpal fracture dislocations.
Methods: The authors analyzed prospectively, the radiocarpal fracture dislocations patterns in 40 patients, utilizing Rx incidences in Post-anterior and Lateral views, and surgical findings, treated between 1995 and 2018 using the Dumontier Classification.
Results and Conclusions: There were 36 men and 4 women. The mean age was 24 years (range 18-45). They observed that in 30% (12) of the patients analyzed, had no correlation with the Dumontier classification. Nine patients, considered type II in Dumontiers Classification, presented fracture of the anterior lip that was interposed, or the Radio-lunate ligaments were torn. Three patients had a carpal bone fracture and no intrinsic ligament lesion was observed.
The Radiocarpal Fracture dislocation is a complex lesion and a more complete classification should be adopted (Table 1 [Tab. 1]).
