Timing and Injury Severity as Potential Determinants of Patient-Reported Outcomes After Perilunate Injuries: A Prospective Single-Center Cohort Study

Background/Objectives: Perilunate dislocations (PLDs) and perilunate fracture-dislocations (PLFDs) are uncommon but severe wrist injuries for which the prognostic influence of treatment timing and initial injury severity remains incompletely defined. This prospective study investigated the association between time to definitive surgery and patient-reported functional outcome and explored clinical and radiographic factors potentially influencing recovery.
