This case report details a rare radial carpal-volar lunate dislocation. Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning achieved good outcomes at one year, highlighting a viable treatment for this unusual wrist injury.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Lunate dislocations are infrequent wrist injuries.
  • Radial carpal-volar lunate dislocation represents a unique and challenging presentation.

Observation:

  • A specific case of radial carpal-volar lunate dislocation was identified.
  • The injury involved the lunate bone in a volar (palmar) and radial direction.

Findings:

  • The dislocation was successfully treated using closed reduction techniques.
  • Percutaneous pinning was employed for stabilization post-reduction.
  • One-year follow-up demonstrated favorable clinical and radiographic results.

Implications:

  • This case suggests closed reduction and percutaneous pinning is an effective treatment for radial carpal-volar lunate dislocations.

  • Further research into optimal management strategies for rare wrist dislocations is warranted.
  • Understanding unique injury patterns aids in improving patient outcomes in hand and wrist surgery.
