Case:
Perilunate dislocation is an uncommon injury in children. We report the case of an 11-year-old boy who presented a trans-scapho-perilunate fracture-dislocation of the carpus after falling from his bike. Treatment consisted of a closed reduction under general anesthesia followed by cast immobilization for 12 weeks. The injury healed with good wrist function on follow-up.
Conclusion:
Closed reduction should be attempted because it can be successful and allows for closed treatment with the cast. It provides good radiological healing and satisfying functional results.
