Abstract

We report the case of a sportsman who fell injuring his left non-dominant wrist. He suffered an unusual injury, a fracture dislocation of the pisotriquetral joint which left him with a painful restriction of wrist movement. We describe his presentation and treatment with a novel 'joystick' technique following failed manipulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
