Acute open perilunate dislocation--a case report.
A rare case of acute open dorsal perilunate dislocation of the left hand was encountered in a 30-year-old man with exposure of the lunate and distal radius. No other combined injury was identified except open dislocation and chip avulsion fracture of triquetrum. Open reduction was performed through a dorsal approach after debridement. Such a severe injury, to our knowledge, has not been reported previously.
