“…Teisen and Hjarbaek (1988) produced a descriptive classification of lunate fractures, based on the radiological appearance of 17 acute fractures, and the vascularity of the lunate as described by Gelberman and Menon (1980). Before and since then, there have only been small series of acute lunate fractures described (Akane et al, 2014;Amaravati et al, 2005;Asano and Hidaka, 2014;Bain et al, 2008;Briseño and Yao, 2012;Buijze and Mudgal, 2011;Cetti et al, 1982;Christodoulou et al, 1999;Conway et al, 1989;Enoki et al, 2008;Freeland and Ahmad, 2003;Hofmeister and Faruqui, 2009;Hsu and Hsu, 2011;Imbuldeniya and Compson, 2011;Kearsey and Shahzad, 2011;Khattak et al, 2010;Lavelle et al, 2008;Masmejean et al, 1998;Mason et al, 1986;Milliez et al, 1993;Møller, 1983;Nierkens and van der Heijden, 2013;Noble and Lamb, 1979;Pan et al, 2000;Patel and Boardman, 2005;Ran et al, 2009;Ruijters and Kortmann, 1988;Shin and Shin, 2014;Takase and Yamamoto, 2006;Toft et al, 1985;Vasireddy and Lowdon, 2009).…”

The aim of this study was to analyse lunate fractures and any associated osseo-ligamentous injuries. A systematic review identified 34 cases. We identified carpal instabilities at the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints in volar and dorsal directions. Radiocarpal instabilities (10/34) were usually dorsoradial (8/10), with a transverse lunate fracture, best seen on a coronal image. Midcarpal instabilities (24/34) were usually volar (14/18), with a volar lunate shear fracture, best seen on a sagittal image. Instabilities were sub-classified into non-displaced, subluxated and dislocated. Associated fractures of the scaphoid and the radial and ulnar styloid processes were common. Lunate fractures without subluxation or dislocation had good outcomes with cast immobilization or fixation of associated fractures. Lunate fracture-subluxations are unstable injuries that are best managed with fixation of the carpal fractures. Lunate fracture-dislocations are complex injuries, requiring stabilization of the lunate, associated fractures and ligament injuries; complications are common and acute or delayed salvage procedures may be required.

Translunate Perilunate Injuries—A Spectrum of This Uncommon Injury

2013

Purpose To review a series of translunate perilunate dislocations to analyze the, mechanism of injury, diagnosis, management, and outcome. Methods A literature review and a survey of the International Wrist Investigators Workshop were performed to locate cases. Results Translunate perilunate injuries are rare. There is a spectrum of severity. The mechanism of injury is usually high-energy, and multiple fractures are the norm. High-energy mechanism, perilunate dislocation, comminuted lunate fracture and delayed presentation greater than 7 days are associated with a higher likelihood of a salvage procedure being required. Discussion Translunate injuries are a complex variant of perilunate dislocations. Early diagnosis is critical in understanding the complexity of the injury. Lunate fixation should be performed prior to bony and ligamentous stabilization of the proximal row. In delayed or highly comminuted cases, salvage procedures are the preferred option. Including a translunate arc in addition to the greater and lesser carpal arc would lead to a more inclusive classification. Level of Evidence Level IV.

“…Lawlis and Gunther reviewed 20 patients treated for CMC dislocations, and in all cases, the metacarpal was dislocated dorsal to the carpus, and there was no associated intercarpal disruption [5]. Two previous reports of total volar dislocation of the capitate [7, 8] and one report of volar dislocation of the capitate proximal pole [6] also involved other CMC and intercarpal injuries. Likewise, the only previous report of volar dislocation of the distal capitate also involved dislocation of the triquetrum [10].…”

Volar Capitate Dislocation: A Case Report

We present a rare injury involving a volar dislocation of the distal capitate with secondary median nerve compression. The injury was not recognized on the initial radiographs resulting in a delayed diagnosis and treatment. A satisfactory outcome was achieved following open reduction and internal fixation via dorsal and palmar approaches. This case illustrates the importance of careful review of radiographs for evidence of intercarpal injuries.
