Abstract :
A 30-year old male right handed professional tennis player complained about reduced athletic performance, chronic pain and restricted extension of his right wrist. Lateral
radiograph of the right wrist demonstrated an osteophyte
projecting from the dorsal lip of the lunate bone. The
presence of an osteophyte on the lateral radiograph of the
lunate along with the history, clinical examination, intraoperative findings, and post-operative satisfactory result made the diagnosis of dorsal luno-capitate impingement
syndrome reasonable.
