It is a result of disruption of the complex inter-carpal and radiocarpal ligaments that hold the well conforming carpus in their normal position. Given the strength of these structures a significant trauma is required to cause them to fail.<\/jats:p><jats:p>However, we present a case of a patient who not only presented with relatively trivial trauma that resulted in a lunate dislocation, but it was also in the dorsal direction and not associated with any fracture or neurological compromise. In addition, she presented several days after her injury.<\/jats:p><jats:p>We treated her with closed manipulation and percutaneous K-wire fixation followed by a short period of immobilisation in a Plaster-of-Paris cast, with rapid return to full duties at work.<\/jats:p><jats:p>As many volar lunate dislocations may be missed at presentation, we suggest that in patients with relatively trivial trauma there should also be a suspicion of the lunate dislocating dorsally, which may be treated successfully without the aggressive open surgery usually required in volar perilunate dislocations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2174\/1874325001206010531","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,13]],"date-time":"2012-12-13T06:12:27Z","timestamp":1355379147000},"page":"531-534","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Isolated Dorsal Dislocation of the Lunate"],"prefix":"10.2174","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"NA","family":"Siddiqui","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"SP","family":"Sarkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"965","reference":[{"key":"refR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"45","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-198006000-00006","volume":"149","author":"Mayfield JK","year":"1980","unstructured":"Mayfield JK.
