Pickleball has gained substantial popularity across diverse age groups, and the increasing number of participants has been accompanied by more frequently reported injuries. Upper extremity conditions related to pickleball range from overuse tendinitis to fractures after falls. More serious injuries, including wrist fractures and dislocations, are typically associated with significant trauma. We present the case of a recreational pickleball player who sustained a dorsal lunate dislocation during a routine paddle swing, without a fall or direct impact. The injury was recognized after a delay, ultimately requiring treatment with a salvage procedure.
