Abstract:
There are few reports of an isolated dislocation of the pisiform. An isolated dislocation of the pisiform without other injuries involving the carpal bones is particularly uncommon. This type of injury can be neglected in the acute period. We report a case of an isolated dislocation of the pisiform without a carpal bone injury in a young man treated primarily with a closed reduction, pinning and immobilization.
