Carpal fracture-dislocations are rare injuries that occur after high-energy trauma and that, initially, often go unnoticed. A case of a 32-year-old male patient is reported, he had been treated six weeks earlier in the trauma clinic after falling from a six meter height approximately. An isolated lunate dislocation was diagnosed and partial carpectomy was performed. The evolution was satisfactory, the patient joined his active social life 16 weeks after the operation. After a year of evolution, he showed mild and occasional pain.
