Summary

Acute lunate dislocations are unusual and devastating injuries to the wrist. They are very rare in adult wrist injuries but extremely rare in children. Only six cases of perilunate dislocations in children have been reported in the literature, and in addition to this, only a single case of a lunate dislocation in a child has been reported.

Here, we report a case of a 10-year-old boy who presented with an acute lunate dislocation of the wrist, following trauma, a second of its kind.
