SLAC Wrist

Scaphoid lunate advanced collapse, also known as SLAC wrist, is a wrist in which the scapholunate ligament is ruptured. If the diagnosis is missed or the given treatment is not effective, this will eventually cause osteoarthritis of the wrist.

Symptoms

Symptoms include difficulty bearing weight across wrist, pain in the region of the scapholunate interval, progressive weakness of affected hand and wrist stiffness.
