Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To compare the sensitivity of traditional motion studies, bone scintigraphy and radiocarpal arthrography to a "carpal stretch test," for evaluation of dynamic dissociative carpal instability. DESIGN: Experimental study comparing the results of the tests to the findings of arthroscopy, the "gold standard."
