Perilunate dislocation of the carpus is a serious lesion of the wrist which is defined by a total loss of contact of the articular surfaces capito-lunar, scapholunate and lunate-triquetral. Rare by its frequency, it represents 5 to 10% of traumatic injuries of the wrist. Perilunate wrist dislocation is a rare injury that goes unnoticed in 25% of cases. Even with surgical treatment, 50-100% of patients will develop radiocarpal and/or midcarpal osteoarthritis.
