Abstract
A 12 years follow-up of a case of bilateral volar lunate dislocation treated by open reduction and K-wire stabilisation of both wrists six days after injury is described. Despite aseptic necrosis of both lunates, the patient is pain free and has useful function, without the development of lunate ischaemia and collapse, carpal instability or posttraumatic osteoarthritis.
