Kinematic 4D CT case-control study of wrist in dart throwing motion “in vivo”: comparison with other maneuvers

Conclusion4D CT of the wrist during DT showed a similar performance than RUD and a better performance than CF for the differentiation between patients with and without SLIL tears.Key Points• Four-dimensional computed tomography can dynamically assess scapholunate instability.• The best results for differentiating between patients with and without SLIL tears were obtained with SLG median and maximal values.• The dart throwing and radio-ulnar deviation maneuvers yielded the best results for the dynamic evaluation of scapholunate instability.
