- Failure of conservative measures for a subluxation (partial dislocation).
How to prepare
- Immediate medical evaluation in an emergency department or clinic.
- Diagnostic imaging, primarily X-rays, to confirm the type and direction of the dislocation and rule out fractures.
- Assessment of neurovascular status (checking pulses, sensation, and movement in the fingers).
- Administration of analgesics and often sedation or a regional nerve block to ensure patient comfort and muscle relaxation.
- Informed consent discussion detailing the procedure, risks, and expected outcomes.
Risks & possible complications
- Failure of reduction, requiring a repeat procedure or surgical intervention.
- Damage to nerves, blood vessels, or tendons surrounding the joint.
- Recurrence of dislocation (instability).
- Stiffness and reduced range of motion in the wrist.
- Post-traumatic osteoarthritis developing in the joint over time.
- Complications from anesthesia or sedation.
- Chronic pain or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).
Recovery & hospital stay

- Pain is managed with prescribed medications, and ice packs can be applied over the cast.
- Follow-up X-rays are scheduled to ensure the bones remain in correct alignment.

Reyansh Jones, a 28-year-old line cook...
Reyansh Jones, a 28-year-old line cook at a busy downtown restaurant, was rushing during the dinner rush when he slipped on a wet floor. He instinctively put out his right hand to break his fall, feeling an immediate, sickening pop and excruciating pain. In the ER, X-rays confirmed a dorsal perilunate dislocation of his dominant wrist. His hand was visibly deformed, swollen, and he couldn't move his fingers. The orthopedic resident explained that the small bones in his wrist had been forced out of place and needed to be put back immediately to restore blood flow and prevent permanent damage. Reyansh was terrified, his mind racing about how he would work or pay his bills. The reduction was performed under sedation in the ER. He felt immense pressure and a loud 'clunk' as the bones slid back into place, followed by immediate relief from the severe pain. His wrist was placed in a splint. After six weeks in a cast and three months of dedicated physiotherapy, Reyansh regained nearly full strength and range of motion. He was deeply anxious before the procedure, fearing a career-ending injury. The successful reduction and his determined recovery filled him with profound gratitude and a new sense of resilience, though he now moves with more caution in the kitchen.
