Abstract

Traditional radiographic imaging of the scapholunate interval is complicated by the lack of a view that combines the dynamism of the clenched-fist stress view with the ability to reliably duplicate the precise angle of pronation that shows optimally the scapholunate interval. We describe a simple radiographic technique that combines these 2 criteria that we have found helpful in the office diagnosis of scapholunate dissociation.
