Q

Just remember the scaphoid wants to ___ and the lunate wants to extend ____.

A

Scaphoid = Flex (volar)

Lunate = extend (dorsal)

The only thing holding them back is their ligamentous attachment to each other.

A

30-60 degrees

instability

A

VISI (Volar Intercalated Segmental Instability)

21
Q

“Ulnar sided iniury” (lunotriquetral side), the lunate no longer has the stabilizing force of the lunotriquetral ligament and gets ripped volar with the scaphoid

A

VISI (Volar Intercalated Segmental Instability)

22
Q

Narrowing of the SL angle - with volar-flexion of the lunate & scaphoid.

A

VISI (Volar Intercalated Segmental Instability)

23
Q

What are the carpal dislocation?

24
Q

the Lunate stays put - it’s the carpal bones around the lunate (“peri­ lunate bones”) that move.

25
Peri-lunate dislocation is associated with what fractures?
Scaphoid fracutre
26
Lunate and capitate lose radial alignement
27
Carpal dislocation Associated with Triquetro-Lunate interosseous ligament disniption
28
Mid-carpal dislocation is associated with what fracture?
Triquetral Fracture
29
Lunate moves, others stay
Lunate dislocation
30
It happens with a Dorsal radiolunate ligament injury
Lunate dislocation
31
"Most severe Carpal Dislocation"
Lunate dislocation
32
Dislocations around the lunate are described in two flavors
Lessare Arc Greater Arc
33
Vulnerable zone with pure ligament injury
Lesser Arc
34
Vulnerable zone associated with fractures
Greater arc Described by saying “trans” the name of the fracture then the dislocation. Example “Trans-scaphoid, peri-lunate dislocation”
35
Ligament free part of the carpal bones
Space of Poirier Ligament free (“poor”) area, that is a site of weakness
36
Which synovial spaces normally communicate ?
The answer is pisiform recess and radiocarpal joint.
