Perilunate Dislocation Reduction Technique and Results
Closed perilunate reductions in the ED can have a high success rate >80%. Herzberg II perilunate injuries have >70% (76%) success rate in closed reduction. Rates of median nerve symptoms were high and resolved in most cases (92%) after reduction. Closed reduction of perilunate injuries can safely be attempted in the ED and resolves nerve compression prior to surgery.
