Overview

Case series shows acute proximal row carpectomy improves patient-reported outcomes in perilunate injuries, suggesting viability.

Key Points

  • Return-to-work rates were favorable, with 35.7% returning without restrictions and 35.7% with restrictions.
  • Patient-reported outcomes included VAS scores averaging 1.31 and QuickDASH scores averaging 20.5, indicating positive recovery.
  • Retrospective chart review conducted on adults with perilunate or lunate dislocations treated within 21 days post-injury at a single institution.
  • Postoperative complications were notably low, highlighting the efficacy of acute proximal row carpectomy.
