Scapholunate interosseous ligament, Extrinsic wrist ligaments, Carpal instability, MRI of wrist, Wrist ligamentous injury,
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate scapholunate ligament partial tears regarding tear localization, extrinsic ligament accompaniment in stable wrist and accordingly to scrutinize conservative treatment response.
Detailed description
Patients admitted with radial sided wrist pain without carpal instability were retrospectively evaluated. Scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIOL) tear localization, grade of injury and associated extrinsic ligament injuries were examined on MRI.
