From the First Orthopaedic Department, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki "G.Papanikolaou" Hospital, Exohi, Thessaloniki, Greece

Correspondence: Dr Christos G. Dimitriou, 29 Filippou Str., 54631 Thessaloniki, Greece. Tel.: +30 2310 272179; fax: +30 2310 250243., E-mail:chgdim{at}otenet.gr

A 12 years follow-up of a case of bilateral volar lunate dislocation treated by open reduction and K-wire stabilisation of both wrists six days after injury is described. Despite aseptic necrosis of both lunates, the patient is pain free and has useful function, without the development of lunate ischaemia and collapse, carpal instability or posttraumatic osteoarthritis.

Key Words: lunate • volar • dislocation • bilateral • osteonecrosis • collapse
