Recurrent volar carpal perilunate subluxation.
Recurrent volar carpal perilunate subluxation (RVCPS) is a rare injury (Linschied 1972). Reviewing the literature we found only 5 reported cases of this condition. Four of them were due to congenital ligamentous laxity, two described by Suturo (1946), and the rest by Linschied and Dobyns (1972). Stark reported on a post traumatic case (Stark 1970). The purpose of this paper is to present an additional case of post traumatic RVCPS.
