We report a case of concomitant fractures of the volar lunate facet of the distal radius and capitate body. Surgical fixation was achieved with open reduction internal fixation using headless compression screws for both fractures. Because of the nature of complications seen after both operative and nonsurgical management, these fractures warrant particular attention.
