introduction lunate fracture is a rare injury. most reports are associated with other wrist injuries such as perilunate dislocation and distal radius fracture. isolated lunate fracture has been reported even more rarely. the choice of treatment and outcomes are consequently undetermined. case presentation in this case report we will describe a lunate avulsion fracture as an isolated injury afte...

Posttraumatic instability of the wrist, resulting in scapholunate dissociation, is a common injury pattern in the wrist [2]. Mayfield et al. [1] described instability progressing sequentially from a scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL) tear to complete ligament failure around the lunate, resulting in lunate dislocation. Linscheid et al. [4] also demonstrated that excision of the dorsal rad...

intraosseous ganglia can affect the carpal bones of the hand and must be considered in the differential diagnosis of wrist pain. a 38-year-old female presented with a 14-month history of left wrist pain and a radiolucent cystic lesion was seen computed tomography (ct) scanning. characteristic radiographic findings of a cyst in association with a fine sclerotic rim was apparent. we report an unu...

A palmar dislocation of scaphoid and lunate is uncommon. We have found only 19 reported cases in the literature. We reported a simultaneous, divergent dislocation. The closed reduction followed by percutaneous pinning has given a good result without avascular necrosis of any carpal bone.
