Transcarpal fractures and dislocations in children are rarely reported in the orthopedics literature. This is a case report of a 10-year-old boy who sustained a trans-scaphoid perilunate dislocation with fractures across the carpal structure: these included injuries to the capitate and triquetrum bones. Treatment consists of a closed reduction for the dislocation and using the dorsal approach, an open reduction with internal fixation of the fractures. The injury healed well with a full return of good wrist function. This unusual pattern of injury is described so that it may be more readily appreciated in the future.
