Trans-scaphoid Lunate Dislocation Rare Injury: A Case Report

Abstract

Lunate dislocations are complex and uncommon wrist injuries, often resulting from high-energy trauma like road traffic accidents, falls, and industrial mishaps. Timely diagnosis and appropriate surgical management are critical to achieving favorable outcomes and minimizing long-term disability. Here, we present a case of a 22-year-old male who sustained a trans-scaphoid lunate fracture dislocation due to a motorcycle accident. Prompt wrist x-ray evaluation and subsequent surgical interventions led to the successful restoration of wrist function and stability. This case report highlights the importance of early recognition and discusses the accurate diagnosis and timely management of lunate fracture dislocations to avoid long-term complications and disability.
