BARBOSA, Tiago et al. Luxação trans-escafoperilunar Tratamento com abordagem dorsal e palmar. Rev. Port. Ortop. Traum. [online]. 2013, vol.21, n.4, pp.511-517. ISSN 1646-2122.

Trans-scaphoidperilunate dislocations are rare lesions, with a guarded prognosis and complex treatment. The authors describe a clinical case of a 17-years-old man who presents with a transscaphoid perilunate dislocation after a bicycle fall. The surgical treatment adopted is described, an open reduction and internal fixation was performed using a dorsal and volar approach, as well as the clinical and radiographic outcomes after a follow-up of four years. The treatment options are pointed out, particularly a combination of a dorsal and volar approach and its potencial advantages.

Keywords : Trans-scaphoidperilunate dislocation; carpus; wrist; dorsal and volar approaches.
