Scaphotrapeziotrapezoidal (STT) or triscaphe joint arthritis is common, occurring on ~9% (range 2-16%) of wrist radiographs 3,4. It is typically degenerative (i.e. osteoarthritis) affecting the triscaphe articulation and presents with radial-sided wrist or base of thumb pain in patients over 50 years 1,2,4. It can be associated with DISI alignment 3.
