AbstractSix cases of dorsal transscaphoid perilunate fracture/dislocations and two cases of palmar transscaphoid lunate fracture/dislocations were treated by open reduction and internal fixation of the scaphoid with a Herbert screw. Supplemental Kirschner wire stabilization of the carpus was also used in the two cases of palmar transscaphoid lunate fracture/dislocation. All patients were male, with an average age of 23.6 years. The follow-up averaged 18.9 months. A clinical evaluation scoring system assessing pain, ability to function in an occupation, range of motion, grip strength, and radiographic appearance of the wrist was used. Based on this system the scoring of the six cases of dorsal transscaphoid perilunate fracture/dislocations that were treated was three excellent, one good, and one fair result, while the scoring of both palmar transscaphoid lunate fracture/dislocations showed poor results.
