    Abstract

    Five cases of scapholunate instability are reported. The condition is commonly misdiagnosed in accident and emergency departments. The importance of a complete clinical assessment of the suspected scaphoid injury and the need to measure the scapholunate distance and the scapholunate angle on the radiographs is stressed.
