Volar Transnavicular Perilunar Dislocation of the Carpus

Alexander P. Aitken M.D.1 and Edward A. Nalebuff M.D.1

1 Orthopaedic Service, Boston City Hospital, Boston

A case history of an extremely rare volar perilunar dislocation of the carpus with fracture of the navicular has been presented. The mechanism of injury in this patient was a force directed to the dorsum of the partially flexed hand. This fracture-dislocation presents the reverse picture of the more common dorsal perilunar dislocation.

Our explanation of the mechanism of the production of lunar and perilunar dislocation is presented.
