Diagnosis of Associated Injury

Another study evaluated the reliability and accuracy of diagnosis of scapholunate dissociation (SLD) among AO type C (compression articular) fractures of the distal radius and found that radiographs are moderately reliable and are better at ruling out than ruling in SLD associated with type C fracture of the distal radius (1).
