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 ...
In radiology, the Terry-Thomas sign is a scapholunate ligament dissociation on an anteroposterior view of the wrist. [1] [2] Most commonly a result of a fall on the outstretched hand , the scapholunate ligament ruptures resulting in separation of the lunate and scaphoid bones. This burst causes the scaphoid bone to dorsally rotate. [3]
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:
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 ]
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.
