Abstract
Perilunate fracture dislocations are rarely seen severe injuries among wrist traumas.Trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture dislocation and dorsal perilunate dislocation are the most commonly encountered types of these injuries. In addition, other pathologies may also accompany in the same extremity. As they are rarely seen, they may be diagnosed late. When these cases are overlooked and not treated in the early stages, there is a high possibility of the development of limited wrist movements and chronic pain. In this respect, the importance of early diagnosis and treatment is evident. With accompanying literature, we present a case of 41-years old male operated for a diagnosis of perilunate dislocation due to falling down. J. Exp. Clin. Med., 2014; 31:59-61
