Treatment of Perilunate and Lunate Dislocations
Closed reduction and splinting Usually surgical repair Treatment of both perilunate and lunate dislocations is closed reduction and splinting in the emergency department. Both the wrist and elbow should be immobilized in the neutral position (eg, with a Sugar Tong Splint ). Patients should be immediately referred to an orthopedic surgeon; most dislocations must be surgically repaired because function is better after surgical repair.
