    AbstractIn three patients with elbow dislocations after falls on an outstretched upper extremity, concurrent perilunate dislocation was found. Closed reduction of the elbow dislocation achieved excellent functional results. Open reduction and internal fixation for perilunate dislocation provided anatomic reduction and satisfactory functional recovery in two patients. In the third, a delay in diagnosis of a perilunate dislocation necessitated proximal row carpectomy at 6 weeks.
