A member asked:
What is the treatment/prognosis for disi associated with scapholunate tear with slac ? my wrist only hurts with doing pushups.

Neglect/Activity dep: If only rarely symptomatic, i would not suggest any therapy. Surgical options include arthrodesis or proximal row carpectomy, both cause loss of motion. We suspect that the more one uses the injured wrist heavily, the degeneration and pain will increase. Thus the prognosis is related to use.

Surgery: If you already have disi from a scapho-lunate ligament tear the natural history is for you to develop arthritis within in 8-12 years. Since this injury mainly occurs in young people you should seek the advice of a hand surgeon for surgical options.
