According to Dobyns carpal instability is "a carpal injury in which loss of normal alignment of the carpus occurs early or late". The initial scapholunate angle measured immediately after surgery was 23° ± 3° in group 1 and 38° ± 13° in group 2, indicating a significantly hyperextended scaphoid position in group 1. Scapholunate angle 90 degrees (normal 30 to 60 degrees) The patient was placed in a removable thumb spica splint, and an MRI of the left wrist was obtained. [3] A normal scapholunate angle is 46° (range, 30° to 60°); a unilateral angle >70° is classically defined as abnormal flexion of the scaphoid. A common example of this is triangular appearance of lunate “piece of pie sign” suggesting lunate or perilunate dislocation which is more readily apparent on lateral view. Scapholunate angle: Capitolunate angle: Normal: 30-60 <20: Scapholunate dissociation: increased: Normal: Scapholunate gap >2mm: DISI (dorsal intercalated segment instability) Found inside – Page 176II I As per the normal longitudinal axis, the capitolunate angle should be close to 0 ̊.

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. Proceed to Discussion >> The angle of intersection averages 47°, but ranges between _____. 5); no arthritis was noted. LWW. The scapho-lunate distance measured a mean of 3.7 mm +/- SD 0.6 (range from 2.5 to 5.0 mm). Dr Yair Glick and Dr Ayush Goel et al. It is secured in the lunate using a graft anchor and in the scaphoid utilizing an interference screw. The scapholunate angle should be measured on the lateral view. The mean postoperative scapholunate angle was 59 degrees. This can be seen in the setting of distal radius/ulnar fractures or distal radial ulnar joint ligament injuries. On the lateral radiograph, an increased radioscaphoid angle >60° and/or a scapholunate angle >60-80° with a normal radiolunate angle can be seen [8].
