Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of open reduction and internal fixation and repair of palmar ligment in treating trans-scaphoid perilunate dislocation.
Methods: From June 1995 to June 2001,14 patients with trans-scaphoid perilunate dislocation were treated with open reduction and internal fixation and repair of palmar ligment. Among them,there were 13 males and 1 female,the ranging in age from 21 to 38 years,averaged 25.4 years. All patients were posterior dislocation and all operations were performed within 2 weeks after injury.
Results: All patients were followed up from 24 to 60 months with an average of 28.3 months. Thirteen scaphoid fractures were primary healed and functions of wrist joint were good. Bone disunion was found in 1 case and part functions of wrist joint were limited. No found necrosis of lunate and scaphoid. According to clinical scoring system of Cooney, 9 case got excellent results, 3 good, 1 fair and 1 poor.
Conclusion: Open reduction and internal fixation and repair of palmar ligament is effective in treating trans-scaphoid perilunate dislocation,which can early provide steady fixation for scaphoid,and profit to recover blood supply of lunatum and subterminal scaphoid.

Article Synopsis
- Perilunate injuries, usually caused by high-impact trauma, can compress the median nerve and lead to complications if untreated, making prompt evaluation and treatment essential.
- A study reviewed 33 cases at a trauma center over nine years, noting that injuries often resulted from falls and vehicle incidents, with most cases showing some nerve issues.
- Surgical intervention was common, with 95% of patients needing surgery, and more than half requiring a carpal tunnel release, highlighting the need for personalized treatment strategies based on each case.

Article Synopsis
- Perilunate dislocation is a rare wrist injury often caused by excessive loading on a hyperextended and ulnar-deviated wrist, leading to potential ligament damage and displacement of the lunate bone.
- A unique case of a 38-year-old construction worker with a trans-styloid, trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture dislocation and accompanying carpal tunnel syndrome was documented, marking an unusual presentation not previously reported.
- Treatment involved open reduction and ligament repair to preserve hand function, along with carpal tunnel release due to the symptomatic nerve compression.

Trans-scaphoid perilunate fractures-dislocations are rare injuries caused by high-energy trauma of the wrist. Diagnosis is based on medical history, physical examination, and tools such as radiographs, computed tomography scan, and magnetic resonance imaging. Early treatment consists of closed reduction and casting to stabilize the limb.

Perilunate dislocations are uncommon high energy injuries. The combination of fractures resulting in a trans-styloid, trans-scaphoid, and trans-triquetral perilunate fracture dislocation is extremely rare. We describe a 20 year old male who suffered this injury after a fall from height while parkouring.
