  • Title: Evaluation, Management, and Outcomes of Lunate and Perilunate Dislocations.
    Author: Goodman AD, Harris AP, Gil JA, Park J, Raducha J, Got CJ.
    Journal: Orthopedics; 2019 Jan 01; 42(1):e1-e6. PubMed ID: 30403823.
    Abstract:
    Lunate and perilunate dislocations are potentially devastating injuries that are often unrecognized at initial evaluation. Prompt recognition and treatment is necessary to prevent adverse sequelae, including median nerve dysfunction, carpal instability, posttraumatic arthritis, reduced functionality, and avascular necrosis. In patients who are surgical candidates, operative intervention is warranted to restore carpal kinematics and provide optimal outcomes. [Orthopedics. 2019; 42(1):e1-e6.].
