  2. Scapholunate ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scapholunate_ligament

    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 ...

  3. Wrist arthroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrist_arthroscopy

    The initial treatment of patients with a suspected tear of the scapholunate and lunotriquetral interosseous ligament is a splint of the wrist. If the pain and instability persists, one could undergo an open surgery to reconstruct the scapholunate ligament. The lunotriquetral shear test may also be used.

  4. Wrist osteoarthritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrist_osteoarthritis

    Because SLAC results from scapholunate ligament rupture, there is a larger space between the two bones, also known as the Terry Thomas sign. [10] Scaphoid instability due to the ligament rupture can be stactic or dynamic. [11] When the X-ray is diagnostic and there is a convincing Terry Thomas sign it is a static scaphoid instability.

  5. Terry-Thomas sign - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry-Thomas_sign

    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]

  6. Scapholunate advanced collapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scapholunate_advanced_collapse

    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 ]

  7. Wrist pain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrist_pain

    Wrist pain can be a symptom of injury and several types of non-injury pathophysiology including: [1] [2] [4] [5] Osteoarthritis; Scaphoid fracture with nonunion; Scapholunate dissociation; Scapholunate ligament instability (rupture of this ligament leads to wrist instability) Triangular fibrocartilage complex (injury and degeneration)

  8. Brunelli procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunelli_procedure

    Instability in the wrist can be caused by a torn Scapholunate ligament. The Brunelli Procedure does not fix the torn ligament. A hole is drilled through the Scaphoid bone and a part of a tendon taken from the patient is put through this hole and attached to the nearby bones. The procedure usually results in reduced movement of the wrist.

  9. Dorsal intercalated segment instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_intercalated...

    The SL angle is an indicator of dorsal intercalated segment instability deformity (DISI). The SL angle goes between: [1] - A line through the long axis of the scaphoid bone. ...
