X-ray images indicate scapholunate ligament instability when the scapholunate distance is more than 3 mm, which is called scapholunate dissociation. [7] A static scapholunate instability is generally readily visible, but a dynamic scapholunate instability can only be seen radiographically in certain wrist positions or under certain loading conditions, such as when clenching the wrist, or ...
A condition called scapholunate instability can occur when the scapholunate ligament (connecting the scaphoid to the lunate bone) and other surrounding ligaments are disrupted. In this state, the distance between the scaphoid and lunate bones is increased. [1]: 180 One rare disease of the scaphoid is called Preiser's Disease.
Wrist osteoarthritis is gradual loss of articular cartilage and hypertrophic bone changes (osteophytes). While in many joints this is part of normal aging (senescence), in the wrist osteoarthritis usually occurs over years to decades after scapholunate interosseous ligament rupture or an unhealed fracture of the scaphoid.
Scapholunate advanced collapse (also known as SLAC wrist) is a type of wrist osteoarthritis. SLAC wrist is the most common type of post-traumatic wrist osteoarthritis [ 1 ] and is often the result of an undiagnosed or untreated scapholunate ligament rupture. [ 2 ]
The examiner will feel a significant 'clunk' and the patient will experience pain if the test is positive. For completeness, the test must be performed on both wrists for comparison. If the scapholunate ligament is disrupted, the scaphoid will subluxate over the dorsal lip of the distal radius. Original Description by Watson:
A weekend getaway became a nightmare for one couple when biting ants fell from the ceiling onto them as they slept. Here's how to keep it from happening to you.

Per the study, Americans would pay between $13.9 billion to $24 billion more than normal for clothing and $6.4 billion to $10.7 billion more in footwear. The home appliances that notoriously ...
