Perilunate Injuries: In Brief
نویسندگان
چکیده
2 Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA Perilunate injuries result from high-energy trauma to the carpus. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential to optimizing outcome. Initial management should consist of closed reduction of any carpal malalignment. Subsequent open reduction with percutaneous pinning or internal screw fixation and soft tissue repair is required to maintain carpal congruency. Despite early recognition and appropriate treatment, outcomes after perilunate injuries are often poor. Loss of grip strength and range of motion as well as post-traumatic arthritis are common sequelae.

Trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture-dislocation and isolated perilunate dislocations; surgical versus non surgical treatment.
BACKGROUND Trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture-dislocation and perilunate dislocations are among uncommon injuries, most commonly seen in young patients due to high energy trauma. The treatment can be achieved either surgically by open reduction and internal fixation or closed reduction and casting. METHODS To compare surgical versus non-operative results of treatment after trans-scaphoid peri...
متن کاملVolar Perilunate Dislocation: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Perilunate dislocations, lunate dislocations and perilunate fracture dislocations are rare injuries comprising of less than 10% of all wrist injuries. Volar peri-lunate dislocations (VPLDs) account for less than 3% of perilunate dislocations. These severe carpal injuries occur after high-energy trauma to the wrist and falls on the outstretched hand. We present a case of a missed VPLD who develo...

AbsractAll perilunate fracture-dislocations combine bone avulsions, ligament disruptionand fractures in different forms. The most frequent pattern is the dorsal transscaphoidperilunate fracture-dislocation. The reported risk of missed initial diagnosisin perilunate dislocations is as high as 20%. Concerning pathomechanics of theperilunate fracture-dislocation, it should be noted that most dorsa...
متن کاملGreater arc injury of the wrist with fractured lunate bone: a case report.
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...
