An intra-articular fracture of the radial styloid process is demonstrated, involving only the very tip of the styloid. It is only minimally displaced with a 1 mm articular gap. The ulnar styloid and the carpal bones appear intact, and the scapholunate interval and alignment of the carpus are unremarkable.
Case Discussion
This case illustrates typical appearances of a chauffeur fracture.
