Lunate Fractures in the Face of a Perilunate Injury: An Uncommon and Easily Missed Injury Pattern

Abstract

Lunate fractures are rare and are usually associated with high-energy trauma. Typically, they are described in isolation or with associated carpal injuries such as scaphoid, capitate, or radial styloid fractures. We report a case of a complex lunate fracture in combination with a perilunate dissociation injury.
