Q

wrist manipulation - thrust in traction (lunate on radius)

A

Indications:

S/A: Mechanism of injury: full extension or flexion

O/A:
- Observation/palpation: any protuberance or dimple

  • ROM: flexion or extension ↓ & hard EF & pain
  • Glide: carpal bone palmar or dorsal glide ↓ NZ & hard EF

Special Considerations:

  • Scaphoid fracture (< 2wks) – can have been missed on x-ray
  • Carpal bones hypermobility
  • Nerves & blood vessel compression
