Abstract

A 69-year-old male laborer with a prolonged history of untreated gouty arthritis in the wrist with an atraumatic isolated scaphoid dislocation requiring urgent salvage procedure in the form of proximal row carpectomy. Few isolated scaphoid dislocations have been reported in the literature. They usually are a result of high-energy mechanisms. To our knowledge, no atraumatic, isolated scaphoid dislocations with underlying pseudogout have been described in the literature. This report describes one such case and brings attention to the importance of treatment of inflammatory arthropathies in the carpus due to its effect on the integrity of the carpus and the scaphoid in particular.
