# Isolated Lunate Fracture in a Child: A Case Report

## TL;DR

A 6-year-old girl recovered fully after treatment for a rare lunate fracture, which may help prevent a condition called Kienböck’s disease.

## Contribution

This case report presents a rare pediatric lunate fracture successfully treated with semi-open reduction and K-wires.

## Key findings

- A 6-year-old girl had a displaced lunate fracture treated with semi-open reduction and K-wires.
- The treatment resulted in complete functional recovery without complications.
- This approach may reduce the risk of avascular necrosis of the lunate.

## Abstract

Isolated lunate fractures in children are exceptionally uncommon. We present a case of a 6-year-old girl with an isolated, displaced lunate fracture after a fall who was treated with semi-open reduction with K-wires, resulting in complete functional recovery. This approach may reduce the risk of avascular necrosis (Kienböck’s disease) of the lunate.
