ANATOMICAL RELATION AND CARPAL INSTABILITY
DR SHARAN HONGAL
ANATOMY
Anatomical relation and carpal instability
 Radial height: the distance between two parallel lines drawn perpendicular to the long axis of the
radial shaft one from the tip of the radial styloid and the other from the ulnar corner of the lunate
fossa. Average = 12 mm.
Anatomical relation and carpal instability
 Radial inclination: the angle between two linesone drawn perpendicular to the long axis of the
radius at the ulnar corner of the lunate fossa and the other between that point in the lunate fossa and
the tip of the radial styloid. Average = 23属.
Anatomical relation and carpal instability
 Ulnar variance: a measurement of the relative lengths of radius and ulna at the wrist. The distance
between two parallel lines drawn perpendicular to the long axis of the radius at the distal articular
surface of the ulna and the ulnar corner of the sigmoid notch of the radius. 60% of the population are
ulnar neutral.
Anatomical relation and carpal instability
 Capitolunate angle : A straight line drawn down third metacarpal shaft , capitate , lunate and shaft of
radius with wrist in neutral position on lateral radiograph which is 0 degree
Anatomical relation and carpal instability
 Scapholunate angle : The scapholunate angle is the angle between the long axis of the scaphoid and
the mid axis of the lunate . 30 to 70 degree
Anatomical relation and carpal instability
 Carpal height ratio : carpal height of proximal and distal carpal is 0.53 degree
Anatomical relation and carpal instability
 Palmar tilt : The volar tilt, or palmar/volar inclination, is an angle between a line drawn perpendicular
to the long axis of the radius and a tangential line drawn along the radial articular surface.
Anatomical relation and carpal instability
DEFINITIONS
 Dynamic stability : maintains normal alignment at rest but will collapse under applied load
 Static instability : abnormal intercarpal alignment on static radiograph
 Carpal instability : instability occurs between the individual bones. In the same row
