Abstract

Objective: to show the three cases more frequents of perilunate fracture dislocations of the carpal.
Clinical case: the three men were between twenty and forty years old who had fracture disloca-tion of the carpal bone. We performed an open reduction and stabilization with percutaneous pins in two cases, treated the scaphoid fracture with screw and one patient was treated with close reduction.
