Complete palmer lunate enucleation as the end stage of a perilunate dislocation is a very uncommon injury, especially in sports practice, it is associated with high rate of osteonecrosis. These usually occur after high-energy trauma of the wrist. We report a case of a complete palmar lunate enucleation occuring while practicing sport, he underwent an early open reduction through a single dorsal approach and internal fixation with K-wires along with ligamentous repair. The patient regained near full range of movement at 16 weeks post operatively, there were no instances of infection or avascular necrosis.
