  • Title: Palmar perilunate fracture-dislocation of the carpus.
    Author: Masmejean EH, Romano SJ, Saffar PH.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Br; 1998 Apr; 23(2):264-5. PubMed ID: 9607678.
    Abstract:
    We report an uncommon palmar translunate, transhamate carpal fracture dislocation. CT-scans with three-dimensional reconstruction were most helpful for the assessment of the injury, which was treated operatively through a palmar approach. The lunate and hamate fractures were fixed using mini-screws and the radial styloid fracture and the scaphoid were reduced and stabilized with K-wires.
