Perilunate dislocations and fracture dislocations

Abstract

The authors review the clinical appearance of perilunate dislocations and perilunate fracture dislocations, dealing with diagnostic and therapeutic questions. Their own material over a period of 6 years consists of 12 perilunate dislocation cases in 11 patients. Problems of early and delayed management, conservative or operative treatments are discussed. Based on follow up investigation, subjective and objective late results are described.
