ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the carpal behaviors during the scaphoid shift test and to compare the results of clinical examination to findings of the radiological analysis. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Sixty patients who suffered from chronic wrist pain were evaluated clinically and radiologically when the scaphoid shift test was performed. Clinical findings were graded on the basis of the degree of palpable scaphoid shift and degree of pain on the dorsal aspect of the wrist. The scaphoid shift test was repeated under fluoroscopy. Radiological paramenters of displacement (scaphoid-lunate displacement index and scaphoid-radius displacement index) and rotation (change of scaphoid-radius angle and lunate-radius angle) were measured. Radiological parameters were evaluated according to the degree of clinical severity.RESULTS:
Degree of clinical shift during the test was significantly associated with both scaphoid-lunate displacement and scaphoid-radius displacement, whereas degree of pain was significantly associated with scaphoid-lunate displacement,.not scaphoid-radius displacement. Patients who complaint pain during the test showed significantly higher radiological scaphoid-lunate displacement index when compared to those who did not have pain, but not significantly different scaphoid-radius displacement index.CONCLUSION:
This study revealed that the presence of pain reflected the instability between the scaphoid and lunate rather than the degree of dorsal scaphoid shift. We conclude that radiological observation during the scaphoid shift test would be helpful in diagnosing the pathologic scapho-lunate instability.
