CONCLUSIONS: Patients with STT arthritis may present with carpal instability that is not related to radiographic scapholunate instability. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The test is positive if it produces a painful clunk or reproduces pain. [3pointproducts.com]
Persistent wrist pain despite fracture fixation suggests a diagnosis of a ligament injury. [orthopaedicsone.com]
Ulnar contraindications Ulnar-sided wrist pain can also pose problems after distal radius fracture with pain persisting for several months after bone healing. [healio.com]
Time from onset of pain or injury was a median of eight weeks (inter-quartile range 0-26 weeks). Ulnar pain was reported in 39% of patients, central pain in 17%, radial pain in 13%, and combined in 34%. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Collapse
Scapholunate advanced collapse. J Surg Orthop Adv 2015;24(2):140-143. Shah CM, Stern PJ. Scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) and scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse (SNAC) wrist arthritis. Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med 2013;6(1):9-17. [jaocr.org]
[…] of stability of the central column present only during ulnar or radial deviation (dynamic DISI and VISI), and triquetrolunate, producing the loss of the dorsiflexion influence of the triquetrum on the lunate and, consequently, a static type of VISI collapse [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This surgical intervention is associated with promising outcomes and at long-term follow-up showed to avoid the development of a carpal collapse with concomitant arthritis of the radiocarpal joint. [giornalechirurgia.it]
- Hand Pain
The examiner grasps the lunate between the thumb and index finger of one hand while the triquetrum is translated in a dorsal and volar direction with the fingers of the other hand. Painful shear motion suggests injury to the lunotriquetral ligament. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cardiovascular

The "Cardinal Presentations Section" provides quick and easy reference to differential diagnosis and directed testing for fever in the adult patient; dizziness and vertigo; chest pain; and over 20 other frequently seen presentations in the emergency department [books.google.ro]
Musculoskeletal
- Wrist Pain
Instability in the ulnar carpal wrist may present with pain, swelling, and tenderness in the ulnar aspect of the wrist. [3pointproducts.com]
Abstract The efficacy of a diagnostic protocol involving videotape fluoroscopy of carpal motion and radiocarpal arthrography was evaluated in patients with wrist pain unexplained by physical examination and conventional radiographs. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Stabilization of the axial instability by capitohamate arthrodesis relieved the chronic wrist pain. [mayoclinic.pure.elsevier.com]

Treatment
For the appropriate treatment is crucial to see also the dynamic behaviour of this kind of injuries. I always perform both ultrasound and Mri dynamic evaluation in these cases. [coachingultrasound.com]
This study examined the incidence of static radiographic signs of carpal instability in patients with distal radial fractures before and after fracture treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Although many different treatments have been developed in recent years, surgical treatment will be preferred in the majority of cases. Physical therapy will find its place in the post-surgical treatment. References 1. ↑, Stanly JK, Hayton MJ. [physio-pedia.com]

This pattern of ulnar translocation, in reality, represents a severe form of scapholunate dissociation and carries a worse prognosis. 19 Figure 19: T1-weighted coronal image demonstrates ulnar translocation of only the lunate (L) and triquetrum (T) bones [radsource.us]
Etiology
The evaluation of this new type of carpal instability with radiographs, tomography, arthrography, and magnetic resonance imaging failed to demonstrate its etiology. [mayoclinic.pure.elsevier.com]

Epidemiology Carpal instability is an injury of young and middle aged populations. The exact incidence of carpal instability is unknown, as the diagnosis is not often apparent. [orthopaedicsone.com]
Pathophysiology
The book begins with a basic science section on pathophysiology of the hand, wrist and forearm. The rest of the two-volume book then follows a progressive organization from the most common problems to the least common problems of the hand. [books.google.ro]

The two main reasons for this are that MCI is a mixed bag of conditions, and that their pathophysiology is not well understood. The management of MCI remains controversial. Table 42-1 provides a summary of MCI. [clinicalgate.com]
Prevention
Prevention of nonunion involves early attention to the therapy of carpal instability when associated with scaphoid fracture. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
“And the best way to prevent both of those is to try to obtain more anatomic reductions.” [healio.com]
With complete SLIL tears, cast immobilization does not reduce or prevent scapholunate diastasis. [45] Significant force occurs at the scapholunate interval on wrist loading. [emedicine.medscape.com]
