Abstract
Perilunal dislocations of carp are rare and often underdiagnosed; this is mainly due to a lack of knowledge of pathology. We report the case of a 31-year-old patient who suffered a right wrist injury involving a retrolunal carpal dislocation, a posterior subluxation of the scaphoide, and a fracture of the base of the first Bennett-type metacarpal. An even rarer or even exceptional form the intervention consisted of a reduction of dislocation, stabilated by pins and repair of scapholunary ligament. The results after a retreat of 9 months are satisfactory.
