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

Acute Onset of Symptoms
She denied any sudden acute onset of symptoms, but noticed that gradually over the ensuing months lifting activities, especially when her forearm was supinated and her left wrist was flexed, caused pain over the midcarpus. [healio.com]

Wrist Pain
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]
This test is positive if wrist pain is reduced with this maneuver. 2. [3pointproducts.com]

Decrease in Height
In this condition, there also is decreased carpal height as determined by the fixed ratio between the length of the third metacarpal and the length of a line drawn from the base of the third metacarpal to the distal pant of the radius on the posteroantenion [slideshare.net]
Treatment
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]
Prognosis
[…] radius malunion is the most common cause may be purely ligamentous or have associated ulnar and radial styloid fractures Associated conditions intracarpal injury (scapholunate or lunotriquetral ligament) acute carpal tunnel syndrome compartment syndrome Prognosis [orthobullets.com]
Prognosis: Volar dislocation more severe than dorsal. Carpal Instability 33. [slideshare.net]
[…] of reduction by radiolunate arthrodesis more reliable Dynamic VISI & DISI trial of nonoperative management with AEPOP/ NSAIDS/ local injection of steroids Stabilisation of midcarpal joint limited fusion Capsuloligamentodesis tenodesis Complications Prognosis [orthofracs.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. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
Introduction Defined as instability between rows (either radiocarpal or midcarpal) radiocarpal instability (between radius and proximal row) midcarpal instability (between proximal and distal row) Epidemiology incidence rare Pathophysiology and Mechanism [orthobullets.com]
[…] of carpal bones is lost Aetiology DISI due to disruption of scapho-lunate articulation VISI secondary to disruption of lunate & triquetral Ulnar translocation rarely results from injury but is commonly seen in wrists affected by rheumatoid arthritis Epidemiology [orthofracs.com]
Although nearly 30% of all injuries are wrist injuries, there is a lack of epidemiological data available on carpal instability. [7] [LoE:5]. [physio-pedia.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
Introduction Defined as instability between rows (either radiocarpal or midcarpal) radiocarpal instability (between radius and proximal row) midcarpal instability (between proximal and distal row) Epidemiology incidence rare Pathophysiology and Mechanism [orthobullets.com]
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]

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]
Prevention
Research is still needed to further investigate the optimal treatments of all carpal injuries in athletes along with designing new means to prevent these injuries. [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]
