| Abstract: | During 13 years four cases of this rare, but typical luxation have been observed. After surgical reposition of the rotated radial carpal bone, it was held in place by an artificial collateral ligament inserted into the periosteum of the radius and the tendon of the m. ext. carpi obliquus . Within 2—4 months lameness disappeared and the range of articular movement was sufficient. |
