[Volar transscaphoid perilunate fracture dislocation. A case report].

Area of Science:

• Orthopedic Surgery
• Traumatology
• Wrist Biomechanics

Background:

• Volar perilunar dislocations of the carpus are uncommon wrist injuries.
• These injuries typically affect young individuals after significant trauma.
• Instability often necessitates open reduction for carpal alignment.

Observation:

• A case of volar transscaphoid perilunate fracture-dislocation was presented.
• The injury involved a complex disruption of the carpal bones and ligaments.
• The patient was a young individual who sustained a violent injury.

Findings:

• Surgical intervention was performed for the fracture-dislocation.
• The surgical treatment aimed to restore carpal stability and anatomy.
• A satisfactory functional result was achieved post-operatively.

Implications:

• This case highlights the successful surgical management of a rare carpal injury.
• Open reduction can provide good functional recovery in complex perilunar dislocations.
• Further research into optimal surgical techniques for these injuries is warranted.
