Perilunate and lunate dislocations
-
A perilunate dislocation is disruption of the normal relationship between the lunate and capitate. A lunate dislocation is separation of the lunate from both the capitate and the radius.
(See Overview of Dislocations.)
Perilunate and lunate dislocations result when great force is applied to a hyperextended wrist. They usually result from a fall on an outstretched hand or occur in a motor vehicle crash. Perilunate dislocations are more common than lunate dislocations.
These dislocations cause pain, swelling, and deformity in the wrist and proximal hand.
If a perilunate or lunate dislocation is not diagnosed and treated promptly, complications can develop. They include
- Median nerve injury
- Avascular necrosis of the scaphoid or lunate and deterioration of the joint (scapholunate advanced collapse).
