We report a case of delayed post-traumatic volar midcarpal dislocation in a 39 year-old woman. The dislocation was a gradual process starting from the time of injury. ⋯ This type of wrist injury has not been previously reported. Because of advanced degenerative changes in the lunocapitate joint, a partial wrist fusion was performed with a successful outcome.

A 12 years follow-up of a case of bilateral volar lunate dislocation treated by open reduction and K-wire stabilisation of both wrists six days after injury is described. Despite aseptic necrosis of both lunates, the patient is pain free and has useful function, without the development of lunate ischaemia and collapse, carpal instability or posttraumatic osteoarthritis.
