AbstractSymphalangism is a rare genetic condition characterized by ankylosis of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) or/and distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints. The patient presented with fused bilateral PIP joints and poor flexion, and an unsatisfactory range of motion (ROM) in the metacarpophalangeal (MP) and DIP joints. Concomitantly, multi-carpal coalition, proximal carpal malalignment, and ulnar styloid process abnormality were also observed in radiographs obtained at diagnosis. Rehabilitation training of the MP and DIP joints and a wrist supporter were recommended to achieve MP and DIP functional motion and restrict dramatic wrist motion. This is the first case report of symphalangism with multi-carpal coalition and abnormality of the ulnar styloid process to the best of our knowledge.

AbstractFracture of the ulnar styloid process can result in clinically debilitating antebrachiocarpal instability. Previously described repair methods include Kirschner wire and figure of eight tension band wire and/or intramedullary pinning. This case report describes surgical repair of a short oblique ulnar styloid process fracture in a cat using two cortical screws placed in lag fashion. Recheck evaluation confirmed lameness-free full return to function with anatomical fracture healing.

We present a case report of a 15-year-old kendo (Japanese fencing) player who suffered a stress fracture of the ulnar styloid process. Exercise of the kendo requires the athlete to flex his non-dominant wrist repeatedly in an ulnar direction, and causes the disorder. Excision of the osteochondral fragment relieved the symptoms. This lesion is likely to occur with other sports or activities which demand similar motion of the wrists.

Carpal impaction with the ulnar styloid process (stylocarpal impaction) occurs less frequently than with the ulnar head (ulnocarpal impaction), and more commonly develops in wrists with negative ulnar variance. Physical examination, radiographic evaluation, and wrist arthroscopy are all helpful in excluding alternative causes of ulnar wrist pain. When an ulnocarpal stress test elicits pain, and radiographs suggest that this is due to carpal impaction with the ulnar styloid, partial resection of the styloid process provides successful treatment, so long as the insertion of the triangular fibrocartilage at the base of the styloid is not disrupted.

We report a rare case of Galeazzi fracture-dislocation with an irreducible distal radioulnar joint. The cause of the irreducibility was entrapment of a fragment avulsed from the fovea of the ulna. The patient was successfully treated with open reduction and internal fixation of the radius, ulnar styloid process and avulsed fracture at the fovea of the ulna.
