Summary
Early surgical reduction of carpal navicular subluxations within five weeks significantly improves wrist function. Delayed treatment leads to chronic disability, highlighting the importance of prompt diagnosis and intervention for perilunar dislocations.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Radiology
- Hand and Wrist Anatomy
Background:
- Carpal navicular subluxation is a complex wrist injury.
- Perilunar dislocations often involve subluxation of the naviculo-lunate articulation.
- Delayed recognition and treatment can lead to chronic wrist disability.
