The patient's overall recovery was satisfactory. Rotatory subluxation of the navicular. The patient was followed up for 1 year and showed wrist function recovered well; radiographic examination showed no lunate dislocation and successful scapholunate bony fusion. Therefore, performing an effective first-stage intercarpal fusion is recommended to achieve better therapeutic outcomes. [2] When the wrist joint is extremely extended, the volar joint capsule is pulled and ruptured, subjecting the lunate to volar dislocation as the distal radius and the capitate compress it. Both these joints move together because the scapholunate ligament connects them tightly. Tucker A, Marley W, Ruiz A. Radiological signs of a true lunate dislocation. In summary, lunate dislocations that have not been accurately diagnosed and treated in the acute phase can be treated with careful reduction. Your doctor may also prescribe pain or anti-inflammatory medications. Scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) of the wrist is a very common case of degenerative arthritis affecting the wrist.

[20,26] In the present case, we used a single dorsal approach to protect the volar ligament structure, avoid aggravating the damage to the blood supply of the lunate, and avert the adverse effects of scar contracture on the median nerve and wrist function. Black arrow: Scapholunate joint space widening; White arrow: Cortical ring sign. X-ray 6 months after surgery showed that the carpal height ratio was 54.35%. BMJ Case Rep 2013;pii: bcr2013009062. Your wrist is at the end of the big bone in the forearm and is a complex joint. [36]. He was hospitalized for definitive surgical treatment. Type 3 is a lunate dislocation wherein a large external force fractures the anterior and posterior radiolunate ligaments, and the lunate is displaced toward the distal radius at the volar side, with the convex surface facing backward and the concave surface facing forward. 1A, B). 3450 Acworth Due West Rd., Bldg. [12] Missed diagnosis results in median nerve compression, triggering carpal tunnel syndrome, and can induce ischemic necrosis of the lunate bone, long-term wrist instability after reduction, scapholunate separation, and carpal bone collapse, causing disability and teratogenicity. Resources: Chao Huang, Wenlai Guo, Wenrui Qu, Yuchen Hu. [8]. A 73-year-old man [H.W.] Your doctor may also prescribe anti-inflammation medications and recommend hand therapy. Abbreviations: 3D-CT = 3-dimensional computed tomography, DASH = disability of shoulder, arm and hand questionnaire, PRWE = Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation. Scapholunate widening > 2 mm on PA view, > 60 degrees scapholunate angle on lateral view, or loss of a collinear relationship between the radius, lunate, and capitate are hallmark features of perilunar instability. Grabow RJ. Found inside Page 367Radiographically, this is shown by widening of the scapholunate interval (compared Successful treatment may consist of closed reduction and percutaneous The patient's Mayo[10] score was 60 (fair), the disability of shoulder, arm, and hand questionnaire (DASH)[10] score was 49, and the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE)[11] score was 59. Traditionally we cast the thumb and wrist for total immobilization. Andersson JK. When the median nerve is involved, the radial three and a half fingers have abnormal sensation, and thumb opposition function is poor. This may produce several symptoms that usually depend on the chronic nature of your injury as well as the severity of the tear. Found inside Page 1386Scapholunate dissociation can also be seen in conjunction with distal radius Cast treatment alone does not appear to be adequate in this setting.278 Keywords: scapholunate ligament, wrist instability, wrist trauma, carpal dissociation, carpal instability, SLAC wrist. Hom S, Ruby LK. The hallmark of SLAC is scaphoid or scapholunate ligament injury with collapse on the radial side of the wrist. Ott F, Mattiassich G, Kaulfersch C, et al. [19]. This is accomplished using RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) as well as splinting. [9]. It also has eight carpal bones, including the scaphoid, triquetrum, lunate, hamate, pisiform, trapezoid, capitates, and trapezium. Traditional treatments mainly include reduction of the lunate, repair of the surrounding ligaments and joint capsules, and Kirschner wire or screw fixation of the scaphoid-lunate-capitate [3-5] or scaphoid-lunate-triquetrum. Anatomy. Intervention for scapholunate instability is aimed at arresting the degenerative process by restoring ligament continuity and normalizing carpal kinematics.

Found inside Page 90Scapholunate interosseous ligament tears have been observed in 18% to 64% of instability such as disruption of Gilula lines or scapholunate widening. Budoff JE. Electronic files of 1000 patients with bilateral X-rays were studied in retrospect. Treatment of scapholunate ligament injury: current concepts. Reports on the surgical treatment ofscapholunate dissociation have variedfrom those that describe the technicalaspects of an operation to others thatreport the results of multiple patientstreated using a single method.It is dif-ficult to identify the best method www.orthobluejournal.com 199 2E, F). Scapholunate (SL) dissociation is part of a spectrum of traumatic carpal bone instabilities and is defined as disruption of the ligamentous complex holding the scaphoid and lunate together. The new edition of this full-color atlas presents nearly 900 images from one of the largest and busiest trauma centers in North America. J Hand Surg Am 2012;37:172641. 2006 Jan; 31(1):125-34. [27]. [31,33,38], In this case, a patient with type 1 chronic lunate dislocation[1] presented with a scapholunate space (d) of >3 mm and a scapholunate angle () >70. This method was then gradually adopted to treat chronic scapholunate separation. You have a small bone in your wrist on the thumb side that is called the scaphoid. Scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) is a characteristic degenerative clinical wrist condition of progressive deformity, instability, and arthritis that affects the radiocarpal and mid-carpal joints of the wrist. Found inside Page 887Figure 62.5 (a) Radiograph showing scapholunate widening. The patient had wrist pain, popping and decreased range of motion but chose to treat However, even if bony union cannot be achieved, studies have shown that fibrous union can provide adequate stabilization. The procedure involves using a portion of a wrist tendon to create the ligament. This is mainly because the scaphoid and lunate bones are the axes of carpal movement and the main loading-bearing column of the carpal bones. A thorough history and physical examination, combined with a radiographic evaluation that can include plain radiographs, tomography, motion studies, arthrography, or MRI, usually will define the nature of the ligament injury. [28] Earlier, to ensure this, the main treatment approach was to repair the perilunate ligament and joint capsule, followed by temporary Kirschner wire fixation of the scaphoid-lunate-capitate[35] or scaphoid-lunate-triquetrum. Despite an increased knowledge of carpal injuries and improvements in radiological evaluation, the diagnosis of a SLIL tear can be difficult or missed unless the evaluating physician . Note the loss of space between the scaphoid bone and surrounding bones. Kitay A, Wolfe SW Scapholunate instability: current concepts in diagnosis and management. Karol Young, OTD, OTR/L, CHT . Any tear to the ligament will affect this functionality, making the lunate to bend backwards and the scaphoid to bed forward. Arch Surg 1967;95:12734.

Scapholunate instability is the most common form of carpal instability. Scapholunate instability is the most common form of carpal instability. [45]. SL ligament injuries can be classified based on the nature of the injury and its severity. [39]. [1] The causative mechanism of lunate dislocation is based on the fact that the volar portion of the lunate is wider and larger than the dorsal portion. [13] As reported by Herzberg, about 25% of lunate dislocations and perilunate dislocations were missed at the initial visit, and only 61% were treated within the first week after injury.

Scapholunate instability is the most common form of carpal instability. This may leave a gap between the two bones. Factors such as increasing age, female gender, obesity, and genetics are also believed to contribute to the development of hand or wrist OA. A grip compression view or wrist in ulnar deviation may be necessary in addition to PA/lateral views. Following a scapholunate (SL) ligament tear or injury, patients in the Atlanta, GA area can come to Dr. Steven Bailey at The Hand Center at Crawford Plastic Surgery for treatment that relieves pain and restores wrist function. The patient was treated using reduction via the dorsal approach brachial plexus anesthesia. Posteroanterior radiograph (a) and coronal CT reformat image (b) of the wrist demonstrating widening (diastasis) of the scapholunate interval (black arrow, a, b) of approximately 5 mm in a patient with wrist pain and history of prior trauma.c Coronal STIR MRI image of the wrist in a different patient shows in addition to scapholunate widening, complete tear of the . Found inside Page 723Treatment options have included debridement of the TFCC (18), Unfortunately, early diagnosis can be difficult, and widening of the scapholunate gap may Principal diagnosis At Admission: Moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Sometimes hand therapy can be helpful if the wrist is stiff after wearing a splint or cast. [32]. Collectively, these findings are called the piece of pie sign. [3032] Clinical studies[33,34] and cadaveric studies[35] have shown that scapholunate fusion can effectively treat scapholunate separation and improve function leading to generally satisfactory clinical results. J Der Unfallchirurg 2012;115:57681. 7A, B). Wu X, Cai ZD, Lou LM, et al. Traumatic injury of wrist while in extension resulting in disruption, most commonly, of the dorsal scapholunate ligament. [29]. Six weeks after the operation, the Kirschner wires were removed and a functional exercise program initiated. The wrist height ratio was slightly reduced, although still within normal range. The scaphoid and lunate bones are two of the eight small bones [] The term scapholunate instability may describe a wide spectrum of clinical conditions ranging from mild wrist dysfunction and partial ligamentous tear to . The injury can separate two small bones in your wrist leaving a gap that can be seen through x-rays or CT scans. Diagnosis is made clinically with progressive wrist pain and wrist instability with radiographs showing advanced arthritis of the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints (radiolunate joint spared). [22].

[3]. This slight reduction may be attributable to the fact that although the scapholunate joint was stabilized well early on, the capitolunate ligament was not repaired, and the axial stress of the wrist joint that was transmitted to the proximal end induced a shift or rotation of the capitate due to compression between the third metacarpal bone and the fused scapholunate. You can try different treatment options depending on the severity of your injury. scapholunate ligament tear is diastasis, or widening, of the scapholunate joint, which can be identified on x-ray. It looks like a crescent moon.

His Mayo score was 70 (fair), DASH score was 31, and PRWE score was 32. Stewart DT, Froelich JM, Shin AY. Acute or subacute tears of the scapholunate ligament may be repaired surgically with suture anchors and temporary K-wire fixation. J Clin Orthop Trauma 2016;7(suppl 1):1104. The Authors. Scapholunate dissociation is well-known to result from acute wrist trauma [], or in some cases from chronic crystalline synovitis [1, 6].The etiology of Kienbock's disease, or osteonecrosis of the lunate bone, remains unclear, and is likely multifactorial. A significant injury can alter the way the small bones of the wrist interact, and this can lead to cartilage wear and osteoarthritis. Highlight selected keywords in the article text. Hand Clin 2006;22:485500. Scapholunate dissociation, also known as rotary subluxation of the scaphoid, refers to an abnormal orientation of the scaphoid relative to the lunate and implies severe injury to the scapholunate interosseous ligament and other stabilizing ligaments.. Carpal dissociation implies carpal instability, which has important clinical implications; thus it is essential to identify this finding on imaging. Mild symptomatic SLAC also can often be managed nonoperatively. Registered users can save articles, searches, and manage email alerts. Clin Orthop Relat Res 1974;104:1349.

Patients will be asked to avoid strenuous physical activities to ensure proper healing. Complete disruption of the scapholunate ligament results in dorsal intercalated segment instability (DISI). : The SL ligament has been completely torn for a long period of time, the lunate and scaphoid bones are separated, and other carpal bones are affected. At this time the patient's Mayo score was 90 (good), DASH score was 16, and PRWE score was 17. If the SL ligament is torn or damaged, it can cause the lunate and scaphoid bones to separate and move in different directions. We will discuss the nature of the patient's symptoms to determine when the SL ligament injury occurred and what may have caused it. Arthroscopy in these patients typically reveals a stable Geissler grade 1 or 2 injury pattern with slight midcarpal incongruity and joint widening. 2012 Oct; 37(10):2175-96.
