Overview

Case report reveals perilunate dislocation's impact on wrist injuries, highlighting timely management's significance.

Key Points

  • Timely diagnosis of perilunate dislocations reduces the risk of avascular necrosis and neurological injury.
  • The case involved a 44-year-old male with a trans-scaphoid perilunate dislocation after falling.
  • Closed reduction in the emergency department was followed by operative management ten days later.
  • Wrist injuries can lead to poor functional outcomes if perilunate dislocations are not addressed swiftly.
