case_images: Initial plain radiographs of the wrist (anteroposterior and lateral views) show a dorsal dislocation of the lunate with corresponding distortion of the Gilula's lines. There is no evidence of any carpal bone fracture

case_images: A complete radiographic evaluation was performed and interpreted as normal by both his physician and a radiology specialist despite the images showing a dorsal lunate dislocation (Fig. 1).
case_images: Intraoperative picture of the open reduction. Intraoperative picture shows the dorsal capsule retracted and the lunate dislocated with no soft tissue remnants. Intercarpal ligament deterioration prevented direct repair

case_images: A complete rupture of scapholunate and lunotriquetral ligaments was noted with no remnants to facilitate a primary repair (Fig. 2).
case_images: Postoperative plain radiographs (anteroposterior and lateral views) show a correct articular reduction. A cannulated headless screw was placed between scaphoid and lunate. K-wires connecting lunate to triquetrum and scaphoid to capitate contributed to additional stability

case_images: Additionally, we used K-wires connecting triquetrum to lunate and scaphoid to capitate (Fig. 3).
case_images: Postoperative radiographs at 2 months show a relapse of the instability. The lunate is dorsally dislocated and a decrease in carpal height can be observed

case_images: Radiologically, the lunate appeared dorsally luxated and a decrease in carpal height was observed (Fig. 4).
case_images: Postoperative radiographs 24 months after wrist arthrodesis show a successful radiocarpal arthrodesis. The patient remains asymptomatic with excellent function
