There will be a discussion of the clinical presentation, examination, and diagnostic testing of the patient suspected of having scaph...

متن کاملProposition of a new classification for scapholunate instability.

If untreated or undiagnosed, it may lead to degenerative changes with SLAC (scapholunate advanced collapse) wrist. There are a few of of well-known SL instability classifications. The one that takes into account a dynamic or static nature of SL instability is the most accepted and used. The arthro...
متن کاملScapholunate instability: proprioception and neuromuscular control.
From a kinetic point of view, the wrist is considered stable when it is capable of resisting load without suffering injury. Several prerequisites are necessary for the wrist to be kinetically stable: bone morphology, normal articulating surfaces, ligaments, the sensorimotor system, the muscles crossing the wrist, and all nerves connecting to ligaments and muscles. Failure of any one of these fa...
