[Bilateral perilunar fracture luxation in a patient with multiple trauma].

We present the case of a 37-year-old, multiply injured man who sustained a bilateral perilunar fracture dislocation after a 6 m fall. The fracture dislocations were diagnosed by standard radiographs. The right side was initially treated by closed reduction and external fixation, the left side by closed reduction and splint immobilization. The patient received definite treatment 5 days after the initial injury by open reduction and internal fixation using suture anchors and temporary K-wire fixation which were removed after 6 weeks. The patient achieved almost a full range of motion in both hands and went back to his work as a roofer 5 months after surgery.
