Dorsal dislocation of the radiocarpal joint with associated dorsal perilunar dislocation.

Radiocarpal dislocations are uncommon injuries that occur even more rarely in association with intercarpal dislocations. All the reported examples of such intercarpal dislocations are volar. We here describe a patient with a unique dorsal radiocarpal dislocation with an additional dorsal perilunar dislocation. Radiographic identification of this injury has important implications for its successful treatment.
