Scapholunate Advanced Collapse

Scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) describes a distinctive degenerative wrist condition characterized by progressive deformity, instability, and arthritis affecting the radiocarpal and mid-carpal joints. SLAC of the wrist is often the result of an untreated scapholunate interosseous ligament injury, with patients typically presenting with a history of trauma and pain that worsens with heavy use. Radiographic and imaging findings demonstrate the widening of the scapholunate interval, degenerative changes in carpal bones, and proximal migration of the capitate. Treatment options for SLAC wrist are a central focus of this activity, encompassing nonoperative approaches, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, wrist splints, and corticosteroid injections for mild cases, and operative management for more complicated scenarios, including 4-corner arthrodesis, capitolunate arthrodesis, radial styloidectomy, proximal row carpectomy, and scaphoidectomy. Additionally, the importance of an interprofessional team in improving patient care for this condition, as early diagnosis and intervention are crucial in managing SLAC effectively, is emphasized. Learners will gain insights into the latest advancements in SLAC diagnosis and treatment, enhancing care for patients facing this debilitating wrist condition.
