title: Trans-radial styloid, trans-scaphoid, trans-triquetral perilunate dislocation.
abstract: A rare case of trans-radial styloid, trans-scaphoid, trans-triquetral perilunate dislocation is described. The injury was treated by reduction and internal fixation using a Herbert screw and Kirschner wire. A good functional result was achieved. A review of the literature illustrates that early surgery is recommended. Alternative surgical approaches are discussed.
