Asymptomatic SLAC wrist: does it exist?
Journal of Hand Surgery 1993 July
Twenty-five patients (30 wrists) had x-ray evidence of scapholunate advanced collapse. Twenty-two wrists had no pain; 12 of these were diagnosed and treated for carpal tunnel syndrome. Eight wrists had mild pain. All patients were reevaluated an average of 2 years later. At that time, 20 wrists were totally free of symptoms and 10 had occasional pain, especially with increased activity (no patients required analgesics). No patient had undergone surgical management for the scapholunate advanced collapse. We believe that there are some patients (especially older and low-demand persons) in whom x-ray evidence of arthritis and clinical findings do not correlate. In these circumstances surgical intervention for treatment of the arthritis may not be warranted.
