[Operative treatment of non-recent and old perilunate dislocations (author's transl)]

Experiences of the authors with the open reduction of 65 nonrecent and old perilunate dislocations are reported here. They analyse the diagnostic failures at these injuries and focus the attention to the correct assessment of the clinical and radiological signs. A survey of the literature on the possibilities of the operative treatment is given. A detailed description of their own technic and the results are given too.
