Abstract
This paper presents a rare case of trans-scaphoid, transcapitate, transtriquetral, perilunate fracture-dislocation of the right wrist as a result of a motorcycle accident. Open reduction and internal fixation of the scaphoid and capitate with one screw was performed and the lunotriquetral ligament was repaired using a suture anchor.
