Frontal
Probable undisplaced fracture through the radial styloid, extending into the radiocarpal joint.
Deformity involving the scaphoid likely relates to old trauma.
Widening of the scapho-lunate joint space, with proximal migration of the capitate compatible with SLAC wrist.
Case Discussion
Appearances of the carpus (SLAC wrist) are chronic. The distal radius fracture is acute.
Unable to process the form. Check for errors and try again.
