title: Dorsal dislocation of the radiocarpal joint with associated dorsal perilunar dislocation.
abstract: Radiocarpal dislocations are uncommon injuries that occur even more rarely in association with intercarpal dislocations. All the reported examples of such intercarpal dislocations are volar. We here describe a patient with a unique dorsal radiocarpal dislocation with an additional dorsal perilunar dislocation. Radiographic identification of this injury has important implications for its successful treatment.
