Dorsal intercalated segment instability
Dorsal intercalated segment instability (DISI) is a deformity of the wrist where the lunate angulates to the posterior side of the hand.[2][3]
The SL angle is an indicator of dorsal intercalated segment instability deformity (DISI). The SL angle goes between:[1]
- A line through the long axis of the scaphoid bone.
- A line perpendicular to the distal articular surface of the lunate bone.
It should normally be 30°-60°.[1]
- A line through the long axis of the scaphoid bone.
- A line perpendicular to the distal articular surface of the lunate bone.
It should normally be 30°-60°.[1]
Causes
The main causes of DISI are:[4]
- Wrist trauma, with or without a fracture
- Scaphoid fracture: bony DISI
- Distal radius fracture: compensatory DISI
- Malunion of radius fracture: adaptive DISI
- Scapholunate ligament instability: ligamentous DISI
