Another reason is that compression forces transmitted through the capitate has a tendency to separate the scaphoid and lunate. What are the symptoms of scapholunate dissociation? stiffness weakness numbness spasm The most common cause of scapholunate dissociation is fall on the out-stretched hand. The trauma cases scapholunate ligament ruptures, resulting in separation of lunate from scaphoid.

It occurs due to injury to scapholunate interosseous ligament ( SLIL ). SLIL may either be injured alone or in combination with other ligaments such as radioscaphocapitate ligament or dorsal intercarpal ligament. It offers a robust restorative option for patients with acute or chronic scapholunate dissociation, characterized by scapholunate gap, scaphoid rotatory subluxation, DISI and dorsal scaphoid translation. The scapholunate is an interosseous carpal ligament that provides stability to the proximal carpal row. It consists of dorsal, proximal and palmar segments that bridge the scaphoid and lunate.

Scapholunate Ligament Tear Signs, Symptoms and Treatment What is Scapho-lunate ligament injury? The wrist is complex joint consisting of 8 small bones, connected to each other with many strong ligaments. as scapholunate (SL) dissociation in a cadaveric, biomechanical study.

Scapholunate injury (or scapholunate dissociation, SLD) is one of the most common and significant ligament injury of the wrist. (another common wrist ligament tear is TFCC injury) It usually occurs when the wrist is twisted with loaded hyperextension and ulnar deviation (wrist moving towards little finger), such as falling onto an outstretched hand

Clicking may be present with recurrent subluxation during motion. Scapholunate dissociation (SLD) is the most common type of carpal instability. It is the most common instability pattern because the intercarpal motion during flexion and extension cross at the scapholunate interface.

Normally, the scaphoid and the lunate move together because the scapholunate ligament connects them tightly. When a scapholunate ligament tear occurs, the

Treatment options are instead arthroscopic debridement or thermal shrinkage, pinning, or physiotherapy with re-education of the FCR. Acute total injuries are preferably treated within 4 to 6 weeks. This is known as “scapholunate dissociation.” The bones also rotate abnormally after SL ligament tears, with the scaphoid rotating forward, and the lunate rotating backwards. This condition is known as “dorsal intercalated segmental instability” or “DISI” deformity. Scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) Scapholunate Dissociation. There is increased distance of greater than 5 mm (black arrow) between the scaphoid (S) and the lunate (L) producing the so-called Terry Thomas or David Letterman sign.

It is the most common instability pattern because the intercarpal motion during flexion and extension cross at the scapholunate interface. Another reason is that compression forces transmitted through the capitate has a tendency to separate the scaphoid and lunate.

The scaphoid usually rotates into flexion, and the lunate rotates into extension. This is apparent on plain static radiographs. Scapholunate dissociation is the most common form of wrist instability, defined as “the loss of synchronous motion or normal alignment between the scaphoid and the lunate”. 1 The mechanism of injury is typically a fall with the wrist extended and in ulnar deviation. The scapholunate is an interosseous carpal ligament that provides stability to the proximal carpal row.

It also causes the scaphoid to rotate dorsally. A gap of more than 3mm is pathognomonic for scapholunate dissociation.

The scapholunate joint is essential to carpal function. A scapholunate dissociation (SLD), which progresses through several stages, finally ends as a perilunate dislocation. The injury can be completely ligamentous or can be a combined fracture and ligamentous injury. SLD is one of the most common types of carpal instability.

The scaphoid usually rotates into flexion, and the lunate rotates into extension. This is apparent on plain static radiographs. Scapholunate dissociation (SLD) is the most common type of carpal instability. It is the most common instability pattern because the intercarpal motion during flexion and extension cross at the scapholunate interface. Another reason is that compression forces transmitted through the capitate has a tendency to separate the scaphoid and lunate.

Scapholunate dissociation results from an injury to the scapholunate interosseous ligament which joins the scaphoid and lunate wrist bones together. This ligament is often torn by a fall onto an outstretched hand. This can tear the ligament, causing the wrist bones to move apart or ‘dissociate’ from one another when the wrist is used.
