Aim:

To assess the clinical outcomes of patients that had perilunate or lunate dislocations treated with either open or closed reduction and wiring without repair of the scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL).

Background:

Current literature states that acute perilunate dislocations should be treated with open reduction and repair of the dorsal scapholunate ligament. This is to prevent dissociative carpal instability and potential long term degenerative arthrosis.
