About this study
The investigators hypothesize that there is no relationship between in vivo kinematic abnormalities and patient-rated outcomes for scapholunate interosseous ligament injuries (SLIL)
The secondary null hypotheses are that: There are no kinematic differences between subjects with unilateral, symptomatic, full thickness scapholunate ligament tears in comparison to the contralateral wrist without scapholunate ligament injury.
The investigators aim to answer to the below questions:
- What are baseline validated outcomes for subjects with SLIL injury?
- What are baseline physical measures (range of motion, Jamar Dynamometry)?
Read the detailed description
In vivo kinematics of the normal wrist has been studied previously, but few studies have characterized the wrist with a SLIL injury. There are few studies evaluating validated patient-rated outcomes for patients with SLIL injury. The goal of this study would be to evaluate to what degree kinematic abnormalities affect patient-rated outcomes.
- Conditions
- Scapholunate Ligament Tear
- Being tested
- CT scan, Fluoroscopy Scan
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
CT scanDevice
A CT scan of the wrist
Fluoroscopy ScanDevice
A fluoroscopy scan of the wrist.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Scapholunate tear | Experimental | Subjects with a full scapholunate tear will have a CT scan and fluoroscopy images taken Receives: Device: CT scan; Device: Fluoroscopy Scan |
| Control Wrist | Active comparator | Subjects will have a CT scan and fluoroscopy image taken of the contralateral wrist serve as the control. Receives: Device: CT scan; Device: Fluoroscopy Scan |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE)
The questionnaire will help the investigators determine how much difficulty the subject has had with the injured wrist in the past week.
Measured: at enrollment
SF-12 Patient Questionnaire
The SF-12 questionnaire will help the investigators determine how well subjects are able to do usual activities
Measured: at enrollment
DASH Questionnaire
The DASH questionnaire will help the investigators determine the level of disability subjects face from the wrist injury.
Measured: at enrollment
