Ospedale C.T.O., Section of Sports Traumatology, Napoli, Italy.

A 23-yr-old female body builder injured her right wrist while training. A correct diagnosis of pure distal radio-ulnar dislocation, ulnar volar, was made, and reduction was successfully carried out. After removal of plaster, the patient complained of wrist pain and clicking. Surgical exploration revealed a ruptured triangular fibro-cartilage complex, which was partially excised. The need for proper physical examination and accurate radiographic positioning is stressed.
