From the case:
Scapholunate dissociation
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/10461/annotated_viewer_json?iframe=true\u0026lang=us"}
There is an intra-articular radial styloid fracture. Importantly, there is widening of the scapholunate distance (Terry Thomas sign) consistent with scapholunate dissociation.
