Abstract
Perilunate injuries are complex injuries of the bony and ligamentous structures of the wrist. They require operative management with careful restoration of carpal alignment and open reduction and internal fixation of associated fractures. Even with optimal treatment, mild to moderate dysfunction affects most patients.
