Abstract:
A 17-year-old male experienced pain on his right outstretched hand due to a motor cycle accident. The diagnosis was obtained by clinical examination and simple radiography, closed reduction failed in the emergency room. Under general anesthesia, open reduction was performed by volar plate incision via the dorsal approach. A short arm splint was applied for 3 weeks and later ROM exercise produced a good result.
