Scapholunate dissociation and distal radius fracture
Discussion:
- ~13% of distal radius fractures have an associated scapholunate dissociation with an increased incidence with intra-articular fractures
- do not fall for the error of "satisfaction of search" and always assess for associated injuries
- scapholunate ligament disruption if left untreated can progress to SLAC wrist, resulting in significant disability
