A case translunate, transmetacarpal, scapho-radial fracture with perilunate dislocation occurred as a young man drove his motorcycle into the side of a car. Closed reduction was performed initially. Open reduction was performed with a screw in the lunate. Eighteen months later the screw was removed and after two and a half years x-rays revealed no signs of avascular necrosis or arthrosis. The patient fully recovered. This case stresses the necessity of open reduction in cases of complicated carpal fracture dislocations.

Nonunion of distal radial fractures in children are rare. We report a case of a closed distal radial fracture in a healthy child, which developed a nonunion following closed reduction and plaster immobilization.

Distal end radius fracture is said to the most common as well as more frequent fracture seen in community-dwelling individuals. Fracture distal end radius can lead to malunion, non-union, deformity ultimately leading to reduce the functional capacity of an individual. Hand functions are primarily affected in distal radial fracture. The patient was an old lady of 75 years who suffered a comminuted fracture distal end radius right side. She underwent surgery 6 days after the injury with open reduction and internal fixation. Three weeks after the surgery physiotherapy was started to increase range of motion, muscle strength and to reduce pain. Rehabilitation started at the rate of one session a day, six days a week. Rehabilitation activities include exercises to improve local circulation and relief pain, to restore normal range of motion, to improve ROM, to improve strength.
