Management of neglected perilunate dislocations is controversial. The various procedures such as open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), proximal row carpectomy, lunate excision, and wrist arthrodesis have been advocated. The aim of our study was to evaluate the functional outcome of neglected perilunate dislocations managed by ORIF.
