[Trans-scaphoid perilunar carpal dislocations. Two stage treatment].
BACKGROUND
In this study, the authors have described an original technique for the two-stage treatment of trans-scaphoid perilunar dislocation.


METHODS
In this study, the first step consisted of reducing the extent of the perilunar displacement, followed one month later by percutaneous pinning of the scaphoid as described by Galluccio. A series of 20 cases was treated in this manner, with positive results regarding scaphoid stabilization, joint mobility and the state of the median nerve.


CONCLUSIONS
The advantage of this technique is that it avoids emergency stabilization of the scaphoid, a procedure which may be complicated by accompanying carpal injuries.
