Scapholunate Ligament Injury is a source of dorsoradial wrist pain with chronic injuries leading to a form of wrist instability (DISI deformity). 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). Treatment of acute SL ligament injuries may be immobilization versus operative repair/reconstruction depending on degree of displacement. The healing process of this ligament, either . The latter is the major stabilizer of the scapholunar pair, and its lesion is bound to cause a destabilization of the carpus, as well as scapholunar diastasis, dorsal intercalated segment instability, then eventually SLAC (i.e., scapholunate advanced collapse) wrist. Scapholunate angle superior to 70° that shows an injury of the scapholunate ligament. By Asheesh Bedi, M.D. Treatment of acute SL ligament injuries may be immobilization versus operative repair/reconstruction depending on degree of displacement. This instability is characterized by a normal scapholunate angle with an extension stance of the scaphoid and lunate. The intercalated segment is the proximal carpal row identified by the lunate. A DISI deformity was defined as a radiolunate angle >15 degrees, and scapholunate instability was defined as a scapholunate angle >60 degrees using the tangential method. Fig. On the frontal radiograph . Examination now reveals dorsal tenderness in the proximal wrist but no snuffbox or ulnar tenderness. DISI is short for dorsal intercalated segmental instability. The scapholunate ligament connects the scaphoid to the lunate. immobilization in a long arm thumb spica cast. Diagnosis of DISI deformity can be made with lateral wrist radiographs showing a scapholunate angle. It has three distinct components, dorsal, volar, and proximal 1. There are many ligaments in the wrist. 7, 24, 26, 27 Elsaidi et al 14 produced significant increases in SLA and capitolunate angle by dividing the volar extrinsic ligaments and the dorsal radiocarpal and intercarpal ligaments in a scapholunate-deficient model.

Diagnosis of DISI deformity can be made with lateral wrist radiographs showing a scapholunate angle > 70 degrees. A very common ligament injured in a sprained wrist is the scapholunate ligament. This filter will apply to all topics in current specialty. Chronic DISI deformities may be indicated for fusion procedures depending on degree of arthritis and patient symptoms. Fig. Diagnosis of DISI deformity can be made with lateral wrist radiographs showing a scapholunate angle. Fig. DISI and scapholunate instability were determined as radiolunate angle >15° and scapholunate angle >60°, respectively. The three most important axes are those through the scaphoid, the lunate and the capitate, drawn on the lateral radiograph. Found inside – Page 185The normal scapholunate angle is 30-60 ° . With DISI . however , this angle exceeds 70 ° . The capitolunate angle is usually less than 20 ° . Scapholunate Torn Ligament. The scapholunate ligamentous complex is the most common carpal ligament injured. The scapholunate angle is abnormal in carpal instability: Please Note: You can also scroll through stacks with your mouse wheel or the keyboard arrow keys. As a result of rotations in opposite directions, the scapholunate angle increases to over 60° (normal value 30-60°). DISI is defined by an increased scapholunate angle on the lateral projection, which results as the scaphoid assumes a flexed posture in response to joint contact forces that are no longer resisted by the disrupted ligamentous constraints of the radioscaphocapitate ligament and volar scaphotrapeziotrapezoid ligaments, and the scapholunate . The scapholunate angle is the angle between the long axis of the scaphoid and the mid axis of the lunate on sagittal imaging of the wrist. It can happen in the distal row but it is very rare. Found inside – Page 129A scapholunate angle greater than 60 degrees is consistent with a DISI pattern and suggestive of scapholunate dissociation (Fig. 11-11). Found inside – Page 73The scapholunate angle normally ranges from 30 to 60°, average 47°. ... A scapholunate angle greater than 700 or 80° indicates DISI. Evidence of scapholunate ligament injury was observed in 35% of cadaveric wrists. Can demonstrate tear - need experienced radiologist - need MRI in correct plane - sensitivity may be as low as 40% Arthroscopy . Statistical analysis was performed with a chi-squared test and kappa test. It is less well recognized that excessive dorsal tilting of the lunate (DISI configuration) can also be produced by displacement of a scaphoid waist fracture. Found inside – Page 221A scapholunate angle greater than 80 degrees is diagnostic for DISI. A capitolunate angle greater than 30 degrees is also suggestive of DISI. It occurs due to complete tear of scapho-lunate ligament. The scapholunate angle increases to greater than 70 degrees while the lunate is extended to greater than 10 degrees beyond neutral. ISA is an angle formed by two lines that are perpendicular to the proximal and distal articular surfaces in the lateral view on CT , and SLA is the angle between the long axis of the scaphoid (tangent line . The normal scapholunate angle is 47 degrees. Found inside – Page 1322A capitolunate angle greater than 15 degrees may be an indication of ligamentous laxity or of midcarpal instability. DISI is most often due to scapholunate ... The most important part of the ligament is on the back (dorsal side) of the wrist. The hallmark of this stage is scapholunate dissociation: abnormal extension of the lunate and rotatory subluxation of scaphoid culminating in DISI deformity. In scapholunate instability, the scaphoid tends to assume a volarly flexed posture. Radiological signs are: • scapholunate angle more than 70° • radiolunate angle more than 15° • Found inside – Page 309Figure 76-8 Dorsal intercalated segment instability (DISI) deformity and scapholunate (SL) angle.
