Abstract:
Perilunate dislocation represents approximately 3% of all carpal injuries and is diagnosed late in 25% of cases. Neglected perilunate dislocation accompanies many complications. Multiple flexor tendon rupture is a very rare complication of neglected perilunate dislocation. Three cases have been reported in the English literatures. No case has been reported in Korean literature. We report on a case of multiple flexor tendon ruptures with compressive neuropathy of median and ulnar nerve caused by neglected volar perilunate dislocation.
