Perilunate injuries are complex injuries of the bony and ligamentous structures of
the wrist. They require operative management with careful restoration of carpal alignment
and open reduction and internal fixation of associated fractures. Even with optimal
treatment, mild to moderate dysfunction affects most patients.
