SELF ASSESSMENT ANSWER: A painful and deformed wrist.
- Abstract
The article presents answers to questions related to the case of a painful and deformed wrist. The radiograph showed an anterior posterior view of the left wrist, showing fracture of the radial styloid, transverse middle third fracture of the scaphoid and radiocarpal dislocation with ulna displacement. Possible complications associated with this injury could be early or late. Early complications are neurological injuries, with symptom and signs of median nerve compression, and injury to the ulna nerve. Vascular injury is another early complication.
