Perilunate injuries

David J Sauder et al. Orthop Clin North Am. 2007 Apr.

Abstract

Perilunate injuries are complex injuries of the bony and ligamentous structures of the wrist. They require operative management with careful restoration of carpal alignment and open reduction and internal fixation of associated fractures. Even with optimal treatment, mild to moderate dysfunction affects most patients.
