Patient characteristics

Subject Age, y Sex (M/F) Prior Surgery Symptoms at Time of 4DCT X-ray Findings Clinical Question 4DCT Maneuvers Relevant Findings Final Disposition
Volunteer 18 M None None None None F-X S-P R-U Normal Normal
Patient 1 62 M ORIF of distal radius fracture and SL ligament repair Normal postoperative stiffness, no pain Mild SL diastasis on supinated clenched fist view ? SL instability F-X S-P Dart No kinematic instability 1 year follow-up from surgery-well healed with no instability
Patient 2 50 F ORIF distal radius fracture and SL ligament repair Normal postoperative stiffness, no pain Mild SL diastasis on supinated clenched fist view ? SL instability F-X S-P Dart No kinematic instability 4 months follow-up from surgery-well healed with no instability
Patient 3 30 M ORIF distal radius fracture and SL ligament repair Normal postoperative stiffness, no pain Mild SL diastasis on supinated clenched fist view ? SL instability F-X S-P Dart Clenched fist No kinematic instability 6 months follow-up from surgery-well healed with no instability
Patient 4 Right Wrist 45 M None Diffuse wrist pain, worse with motion Ulnar subluxation of carpus on outside X-rays ? Ulnocarpal impaction F-X R-U Clenched fist Dynamic ulnocarpal abutment on radial deviation and relaxed phase of clinched fist motion Surgical fixation planned
Patient 4 Left Wrist 45 M None Diffuse wrist pain, worse with motion Ulnar subluxation of carpus on outside X-rays ? Ulnocarpal impaction F-X R-U Clenched fist Dynamic ulnocarpal abutment on radial deviation and relaxed phase of clinched fist motion Surgical fixation planned

Dart indicates darth throwing motion; F-X, flexion-extension; ORIF, open reduction internal fixation; R-U, radial-ulnar deviation; S-P, supination-pronation; SL, scapholunate; ?, questionable.
