- See: Trans-scaphoid Perilunar Dislocation
- Discussion:
- occurs as oblique frx through radial styloid, extending thru scapholunate ligament and around the lunate, through the triquetral attachments;
- due to the radiocapitate ligament, the fractured styloid process migrates with the distal carpal row;
- because styloid is held by radiolunate and radioscaphoid ligaments, reduction is usually possible, but proximal displacement w/ scaphoid is common;
- Treatment:
- screw fixation of the styloid may be required;
- repair of the scapholunate ligament is recommended to avoid SLD
