Transradial Transcapitate Perilunotriquetral Coalition Fracture Dislocation

Abstract

AbstractPerilunate fracture dislocations (PLFDs) are uncommon, usually resulting from high-energy trauma. Several classification systems describe the patterns of injury seen, but there is still significant variation and patterns of injury that do not fit within these classifications continue to be described. Carpal coalitions are rare, mostly asymptomatic, and are, as a result, usually identified incidentally. We describe the case of a transradial transcapitate PLFD in a patient with a Minnaar Type 3 lunotriquetral coalition. Radiographic, clinical, and patient-reported outcomes are reported.When presented with a rare anatomical variation in the context of a complex injury, the importance of managing these complex injuries according to principles is highlighted.
