Summary
This is a hyperextension injury in ulnar deviation: a Mayfield stage 4. Lower-energy hyperextension injuries might result in scapholunate ligament injury. In order to dislocate the lunate, this patient must have torn the scapholunate ligament, dislocated the lunocapitate joint, torn the lunotriquetral ligament and the dorsal radiolunate ligament. The only remaining ligamentous attachments are the strong volar radiocarpal ligaments.
