Abstract
We report a case of a dynamic radial translation instability of the carpus, secondary to avulsion of the ulnocarpal ligaments and attenuation of the s hort radiolunate ligament. In addition, there was a peripheral detachment o f the distal radioulnar ligaments causing distal radioulnar instability, Re attachment of the avulsed ligaments combined with a Sauve-Kapandji procedur e resulted in an excellent function, which was maintained 10 years after su rgery.
