چکیده
Most of carpal tunnel syndrome cases are idiopathic, and secondary causes are so rare that can be easily missed. We present a patient with neglected undiagnosed lunate dislocation compressing on median nerve causing its signs and symptoms.

Carpal instability is a rare injury of the wrist, but it can cause adverse disability and morbidity of the patient. Lunate dislocation is the fourth and last stage of perilunate dislocation. Bilateral perilunate dislocation is an even more uncommon injury, and only several cases have been reported in literature. We are presenting a case of bilateral perilunate dislocation of wrists in 27-year-o...
متن کاملIsolated Dorsal Dislocation of the Lunate
Lunate dislocations are well described in the volar direction as part of the perilunate dislocation, sometimes together with fractures of the other carpal bones or distal radius, as described by the anatomical studies of Mayfield [1]. It is a result of disruption of the complex inter-carpal and radiocarpal ligaments that hold the well conforming carpus in their normal position. Given the streng...

Carpal dislocation and fracture dislocation are uncommon and difficult to treat. Early diagnosis and treatment of such injuries are necessary to prevent progressive carpal instability and traumatic arthritis. Perilunate fracture dislocation is a combination of ligamentous and osseous injuries that involve the 'greater arc' of the perilunate. Despite being severe, these injuries often go unrecog...
متن کاملCarpal Tunnel Syndrome Caused by Space Occupying Lesions
PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnosis and treatment of the carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) due to space occupying lesions (SOL). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eleven patients and 12 cases that underwent surgery for CTS due to SOL were studied retrospectively. We excluded SOL caused by bony lesions, such as malunion of distal radius fracture, volar lunate dislocation, etc. The average age was 51 years. There...
متن کاملReconstruction of isolated scaphoid dislocation with carpal dissociation, associated with a carpal anomaly
A case is presented of isolated scaphoid dislocation with carpal dissociation in the presence of a lunato-triquetral coalition. We present the treatment and follow-up of this case. In addition, the literature on scaphoid dislocation and its treatment is reviewed. We emphasize the need to reconstruct the carpal alignment and scapho-lunate linkage.
