Scapholunate advanced collapse

Type of wrist osteoarthritis

Scapholunate advanced collapse is a type of wrist osteoarthritis. SLAC wrist is the most common type of post-traumatic wrist osteoarthritis and is often the result of an undiagnosed or untreated scapholunate ligament rupture. The condition follows a predictable pattern of development, which was first described by H. Kirk Watson, M.D. and Frederick L. Ballet, M.D. in 1984. Diagnosis of SLAC wrist is made using wrist x-rays, but the diagnosis may be aided using certain provocative tests. Management and treatment of SLAC wrist depends on the stage at the time of diagnosis but includes both non-surgical and surgical options.
