Traumatic lunate fractures are very rare and those treatments require an understanding
of anatomical features. We present a case of an ulnolunate ligament avulsion fracture
of the lunate that was successfully repaired by surgical fixation with open reduction
and internal fixation. We believe that restoration of ulnolunate ligament function
is important to prevent further deterioration of wrist function after this injury.
