Perilunate Management
Stopped early · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Perilunate Injury
In brief
Perilunate injuries can be debilitating injuries that involve the carpus. These can limit patients' functionality both acutely and long-term. Not only do their potential for nerve injury increase risk of lasting weakness and chronic pain, but their complex surrounding involving the carpus also leads to potential for misalignment when healing. The approach for treating perilunate injuries often relies on internal fixation, prompting the need for surgery. However, there is no clear recommendation for whether to pursue open or arthroscopic surgery as both offer benefits and pose risks. The aim of this study is to determine the similarities and differences in outcomes for management of perilunate injuries.
