Do wrist anatomical differences predispose to scapholunate ligament injury? A case-control radiographic study

Low RI and increased LTA may represent anatomical risk factors for SLIL injury. Other parameters were not associated with an increased risk of injury. This study was not designed to establish a radiological diagnosis of SLIL injury; rather, it demonstrates that SLIL injuries may be influenced by individual anatomical variations. Further large scale studies are needed to validate these findings and to better understand the anatomical contributions to SLIL injury susceptibility.
