Perilunate dislocation: A 27-year-old
right-handed man presented with right wrist pain after having fallen down
a flight of stairs while intoxicated. The lateral x-ray
of the wrist reveals a perilunate dislocation of the carpal bones. This
is apparent when attempting to draw an imaginary line through the centers
of the radius, lunate, and capitate. The capitate and distal structures
are dislocated dorsally from their normal alignment. (L.S.)
