Abstract

Scapholunate dissociation has been increasingly implicated as a cause of chronic wrist pain and degenerative arthritis. Its occurrence has been consistently attributed to previous trauma. While a few cases of bilateral dissociation have been reported, L 2 well-documented trauma or repeated occupational injury always has preceded the onset of symptoms. No cases of asymptomatic bilateral scapholunate dissociation of long-standing have been reported. Recently we treated a patient in whom an incidental wrist injury led to the discovery of bilateral scapholunate dissociation of undetermined duration and uncertain cause.
