# Palmar Trans-scaphoid Perilunar Dislocation: A Case Report and a Literature Review of Clinicodemographic Characteristics and Management Options

## TL;DR

A rare case of palmar trans-scaphoid perilunar dislocation is reported, including its clinical presentation and treatment.

## Contribution

This case report adds to the limited literature on palmar trans-scaphoid perilunar dislocation and its management.

## Key findings

- X-ray confirmed palmar dislocation of the capitate, carpus, and distal scaphoid relative to the lunate.
- Open reduction and internal fixation were performed within a week of trauma.
- The proximal scaphoid remained attached to the lunate, maintaining normal alignment with the radius.

## Abstract

Palmar trans-scaphoid perilunar dislocation is a rare finding in clinical practice. Herein, we report a case of a young right-handed male hairdresser brought to the emergency room after a heavy blow to his right hand. An X-ray showed a palmar dislocation of the capitate, carpus, and distal scaphoid relative to the lunate, which remains in normal alignment with the radius, with the proximal scaphoid maintaining attachment to the lunate. Open reduction and internal fixation were done in the first week after trauma.
