A case of acute perilunate dislocation associated with acute scapholunate dissociation and acute carpal tunnel syndrome is described in which the treatment was facilitated by the use of the TAG suture anchor.

Acute Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

We reported on an acute carpal tunnel syndrome that occurred two hours after the internal fixation of scaphoid. Operative exploration showed median nerve compression caused by flexor digitorum superficialis muscle bellies within the carpal tunnel. Symptoms were relieved immediately after the carpal tunnel release. This case was very rare because acute carpal tunnel syndrome was caused by swollen muscle bellies within the carpal tunnel after the initial operation for the trans-scaphoid perilunate dislocation. This clinical situation should be distinguished from compartment syndrome of forearm.

Background A paucity of literature exists specifically examining self-inflicted (SI) gunshot wounds (GSWs) to the hand and wrist, which impart greater energy and have a higher risk of adverse events than non–self-inflicted (NSI) GSWs. Methods We retrospectively reviewed records of patients who presented to our plastic surgery service after sustaining acute GSWs involving the hand and wrist between 2016 and 2018. Results We identified 60 patients who sustained GSWs involving the hand and wrist; 17 (28%) were SI, and 43 (72%) were NSI. Within the SI group, 100% of patients were Caucasian, with an average age of 54 years. Within the NSI cohort, 77% of patients were Black, 19% were Caucasian, and 4% identified as other. While not statistically significant, we noted a substantial increase in patients requiring operative intervention in the SI cohort (65% SI vs 37% NSI, P = .08). There was a statistically significant increase in patients requiring more than 1 operation in SI patients (24% SI vs 5% NSI, P = .04). Patients who sustained SI injuries were also more likely to present with acute carpal tunnel syndrome requiring urgent surgical release and to develop wound infections (12% vs 0%, P = .08). Conclusions Self-inflicted GSWs involving the hand and wrist are associated with greater morbidity than their low-energy NSI counterparts. Individuals presenting with SI GSWs are more likely to be older, to require multiple operations, to develop infections, and to present with acute carpal tunnel syndrome requiring urgent surgical decompression.

Acute Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

We describe a patient who developed acute carpal tunnel syndrome due to spontaneous bleeding without a history of injury. Immediate decompression relieved the symptoms. Further haematological investigations revealed that the patient was suffering from von Willebrand’s disease.
