Carpal perilunate dislocations, rare wrist injuries, are often missed due to lack of awareness and imaging. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment are crucial for preventing serious complications.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Carpal perilunate dislocations are infrequent and often misdiagnosed.
  • Wrist stability relies on intricate carpal bone and ligament structures.
  • High-energy hyperextension trauma commonly causes these injuries in young males.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and clinical significance of carpal perilunate dislocations.
  • To emphasize the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment.
  • To review the established classification and management principles.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on carpal perilunate dislocations.
  • Discussion of diagnostic modalities, including physical examination and radiography.

  • Analysis of the Witvoët and Allieu classification system.

    • Main Results:

    • Diagnosis is achievable through physical examination and standard radiographs.
    • The Witvoët and Allieu classification system categorizes dislocations into three grades.
    • Delayed treatment significantly increases the risk of severe complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Carpal perilunate dislocations require increased clinical awareness and appropriate radiographic assessment.
    • Timely surgical intervention is essential for optimal patient outcomes.
    • Understanding the anatomy and classification aids in effective management.
