Official title
A 4-Anchor Construct With Internal Bracing Technique for Surgical Treatment of Perilunate Dislocations: A Prospective Study
Overview
The purpose of the research study is to determine the overall clinical and radiographic outcome differences between internal brace technique and the gold standard Kirschner wires (K-wire) technique for treatment of perilunate dislocations (e.g. nonunion, reoperation, infection, fixation failure, etc.). A secondary purpose is to determine the specific types of complications and their incidence rates with respect to internal brace technique and the gold standard Kirschner wires (K-wire) technique (e.g. range of motion losses, pain, numbness, weakness, etc).
Primary outcome measures
- Clinical Functional Assessment [Time frame: From enrollment to 2-years postoperative]
- Quick DASH Form [Time frame: From enrollment to 2-years postoperative]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Specific types of complications and their incidence rates [Time frame: From enrollment to 2-years postoperative]
Eligibility criteria

Exclusion criteria
- Perilunate dislocations with concomitant carpal fracture(s)
- Pediatric patients (Age < 18 years-old)
- Patients whose age is greater than or equal to 89 years
- History of previous perilunate dislocation on ipsilateral side
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
