Isolated Lunate Fracture in a Child: A Case Report

Abstract

Isolated lunate fractures in children are exceptionally uncommon. We present a case of a 6-year-old girl with an isolated, displaced lunate fracture after a fall who was treated with semi-open reduction with K-wires, resulting in complete functional recovery. This approach may reduce the risk of avascular necrosis (Kienböck’s disease) of the lunate.
