Impact of scapholunate dissociation on human wrist kinematics

Abstract: Neither the complex motions of the scapholunate joint, nor the kinematic changes that occur as a result of injury to it, are fully understood. We used electromagnetic tracking within affected bones to evaluate the physiologic motions in the planes of flexion and extension, and of radial and ulnar deviation of human cadaver wrists, before and after complete transection of the scapholunate ligaments. Despite individual variance between each wrist, we were able to establish a pattern in the changes that occurred … Show more

“…Wrist motion is dependent on complex articulations of the scaphoid, lunate and the radio carpal joint [ 41 ]. Biomechanically, flexion–extension and radio-ulnar deviation are a result of motion of the scaphoid and lunate in respect to the distal radius, which relies on the ligamentous stability between these two carpal bones and movement in the adjacent joint surfaces [ 42 ]. The majority of the DRFs in non-osteoporotic patients result from high-energy trauma and, therefore frequently are intra-articular fractures.…”

“…10 It should be taken into consideration that poorer results of PRC have been reported in young patients, especially those under the age of 35 and those with high-demand, manual labor occupations. 7,10,25,26 Motion preserving procedures are a good surgical option in patients who have localized degenerative or arthritic changes of the carpus. 20 However, although optimal treatment for these injuries continues to evolve, controversy exists regarding whether PRC or 4-corner arthrodesis results in the most satisfactory clinical outcome for the arthritic, painful wrist.…”

“…Imaging of the moving joint has been hypothesized to provide differentiating diagnostic information in orthopedic assessments and longitudinal management (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). Connective tissue injuries, structural deformities, and structural integrity loss can be difficult to characterize in single-frame static diagnostic images.…”
