Treatment of Dorsal Perilunate Dislocations and Fracture–Dislocations Using a Standardized Protocol

Abstract

Treatment of perilunate fracture-dislocations with a combined volar and dorsal approach results in reasonable and functional clinical results. The incidence of associated injuries with these carpal dislocations is high. Although the perilunate fracture-dislocations have a slightly better radiologic alignment than the dislocation group, the clinical outcome is similar.
