Planning
Required projections are posterior anterior (PA), a lateral view X-ray, and then either fist view X-ray[1] or X-rays in ulnar and radial deviation.
Evaluation
Measure the scapholunate distance. A distance of more than 3 mm, which is called scapholunate dissociation.[2] A static 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 loading the wrist in ulnar deviation.[3]
Static scapholunate dissociation
Dynamic instability: Increased scapholunate distance (between yellow lines) upon ulnar deviation of the wrist, but not otherwise.
Dynamic scapholunate instability visible upon clenching the wrist
Report
- Presence or absence of scapholunate dissociation. If present, specify if it is static, or in which positions it appears.
