SCENARIO: A 24-yeаr-оld аmаteur wrestler repоrts tо you immediately following a match complaining of left hand and wrist pain. History He tells you that his wrist began to hurt right after a violent takedown where he fell on a hyperextended wrist. Following this, he could not actively extend his wrist through the full range because of pain. Nonetheless, he continued to wrestle since he did not want to disqualify himself due to injury. However, he suffered another takedown immediately afterwards but landed on a clenched fist the second time in an effort to protect the injured wrist. He describes his pain as a dull ache that spans the mid-palmar aspect of the wrist and pinky knuckle. He rates his pain as an 8/10 that elevates to a 9/10 when moving his wrist or squeezing his hand. He recalls spraining his wrist periodically throughout his career as a wrestler but cannot recount specific diagnoses. He has also dislocated his left middle and ring fingers once on separate occasions in the last few years. He denies any pain in his neck, shoulder or elbow and reports no neurological symptoms. However, he does indicate beginning to feel somewhat nauseous as he speaks with you. Observation Upon initial inspection, you note moderate swelling along the volar aspect of the radiocarpal joint, especially within the middle third. Swelling is also noticed throughout the hypothenar eminence. You do not observe any obvious deformity, scars or ecchymosis. Apart from swelling, he does not appear to have any significant bilateral differences. Palpation Considerable point tenderness is apparent with palpation of the middle third of the radiocarpal joint. You also note a hard protrusion within this area that is not perceived in the contralateral wrist. Palpation along the fifth metacarpal exacerbates pain and produces crepitus at the head and neck. ROM Testing P! with PROM wrist extension. You encounter a capsular end-feel and the patient complains of P! before reaching end range. P! with PROM wrist flexion. You encounter a hard end-feel that elevates P! before reaching end range. P! with AROM wrist extension that prevents the patient from reaching end range. P! with AROM wrist flexion accompanied by the patient complaining of feeling something stuck within the joint that prevents him from reaching end range. All finger range of motion assessments are painful and prevent you from conducting a thorough assessment of comprehensive joint excursions. Structural (or Stress) Tests The following were positive for P! (or comparable sign): Murphy's sign Tap (or percussion/vibration) along longitudinal axis of the third ray Compression applied at the third metacarpophalangeal joint exacerbates pain at the wrist Lunotriquetral ballottement (or Reagan) Tap (or percussion/vibration) along longitudinal axis of the fifth ray exacerbates pain at the metacarpophalangeal joint Compression applied at the fifth metacarpophalangeal joint Neurovascular Tests No significant findings noted. AT RESPONSE: Based on these ensemble findings, what is your diagnosis? DIRECTIONS: Your response must follow best practices for health record documentation (i.e., provide concise, specific, and accurate information that another clinician could easily read and interpret). It is expected that your text entry will include correct spelling. You may (and are encouraged) to use common abbreviations and acronyms linked to anatomical and medical terminology when appropriate.
