Pediatric lunate fractures are exceedingly rare, with limited evidence to guide management. We present the case of a 12-year-old boy who sustained bilateral wrist injuries with a displaced right lunate fracture after an electric bicycle fall. The fracture was reduced and fixed percutaneously with a headless compression screw. At 8 months, radiographs confirmed union and the patient had full, pain free wrist motion without evidence of osteonecrosis or instability. We propose that percutaneous compression screw fixation is a reasonable option for achieving reliable union in older pediatric patients with a sufficiently ossified carpus.
