Young Man With Wrist Pain

A 35-year-old man presented to the emergency department with acute-on-chronic left wrist pain for a month. The patient tolerated the pain until 2 days ago, when he experienced a mechanical fall from standing, in which he landed on his left outstretched hand. His social history included employment as a construction worker. Physical examination was remarkable only for tenderness over the left lunate bone. Radiographs of the left wrist were ordered.
