Scapholunate dissociation in the skeletally immature carpus.
Scapholunate dissociation is well documented as a condition occurring in adult patients. We report it in a 14-year-old female patient. Persistent wrist pain 9 months after a well healed fracture of the distal radius triggered further investigation. Dynamic clinical and radiological studies demonstrated the instability.
