A rare case of carpal dislocation.
We present a rare case of carpal perilunate fracture-dislocation, with volar displacement of the distal carpal row and a proximal row location of the triquetrum. A pre-existing abnormal radio-luno-capitate alignment might have contributed to both the unusual volar direction and the difficulty encountered in its treatment, which caused us to perform a radiocarpal K-wire transfixation.
