Open Anterior Peri-lunarDislocation of the Carp: A Case Report.

Introduction: The anterior perilunate dislocations of the carp (PDC)are exceptional and poorly known lesions, which may go unnoticed in an emergency. They derive their importance from the severity of sequelae, which are dominated by chronic wrist instability and long-term osteoarthritis.

Case Report: We report the case of an open anterior PDC with no carpal fracture in a young patient. The injury occurred in a road accident and was treated at once with satisfactory results 1year after.

Conclusion: The management of carp dislocations is not well codified in the literature. Surgical treatment is often necessary to restore intracarpal anatomy. The prognosis is often good if diagnosed early.
