We're now gonna move on to the second pattern
0:04
by the Mayo classification system.
0:06
Carpal instability, non dissociative, abbreviated sin.
0:11
So this is derangement between rows but not in rows.
0:16
So derangement between the radius and proximal carpal row.
0:20
And I'll show you one example.
0:22
We'll talk about NAR translocation
0:25
and also between carpal rows
0:28
and I'll show you a couple of examples of that.
0:31
Nar translocation means that indeed what is happening,
0:35
the proximal carpal row is migrating in an ulnar direction
0:40
along the slanted surface of the distal radius,
0:44
often related to problems involving the
0:48
ulnar side of the wrist.
0:50
It may be rheumatoid arthritis with erosion of the bone,
0:53
Madeline type form deformity
0:56
where the distal ulnar has been excised
0:58
or with certain traumatic conditions.
1:01
In order for these bones
1:04
to slide in an ulnar direction this way
1:08
produce translocation, you may ha you must have problems
1:13
with the obliquely oriented extrinsic
1:17
radiocarpal li uh ligaments.
1:18
So we may see problems of the radio scaphoid,
1:22
the radio sca fo capitate and the radio luno triquetral or,
1:27
and also called the long radio lunate ligament.
1:30
And that will allow the proximal carpal road a slide in
1:34
an ulnar direction.
1:36
So this is what it would look like.
1:37
This is called type one nar translocation.
1:42
The entire carpus has slid in an ulnar direction.
1:47
The my drawing shows you disruption of the radio OID
1:50
and radio scap o capitate ligaments.
1:54
But this picture over here also shows you disruption
1:57
of the radial no triquetral ligament.
2:00
So those are the types of ligaments
2:02
that will fail when you see this.
2:05
This is an interesting pattern I've seen spontaneously in
2:09
rheumatoid arthritis.
2:11
This is a cadaver with rheumatoid arthritis.
2:13
We sectioned it, the wrist coronally,
2:16
and you can see the ulnar translocation type one
2:21
with the lunate now locked in its position
2:24
as it overlaps the distal radi.
2:27
The type two
2:29
is a problem in the scapholunate interosseous space.
2:34
It leads to massive widening
2:37
between the scaphoid and lunate.
2:40
The prognosis for this particular type
2:43
of problem is worse than a simple scapholunate dissociation.
2:47
The scapholunate interosseous ligament is torn
2:51
and some ligaments also including the radio lunar
2:54
triquetral, may be torn as the lunate migrates, uh,
2:59
in an ulnar direction.
3:00
So here's an example.
3:02
Uh, this was an interesting example
3:04
because the patient did have a lunar triquetral,
3:07
non osseous fusion as well.
3:09
But you can see massive disruption.
3:12
I'm showing you the scap lunate ligament failure at its
3:16
lunate site of attachment.
3:17
The scaphoid remains in place.
3:20
So this would be a type two pattern of ulnar translocation.
3:26
And then the other, and this is the part
3:28
that's gonna be a little bit confusing, particularly
3:30
for those of you who are beginning at this,
3:32
is an entity known as mid carpal spin where the problem lies
3:37
between the, the proximal and distal carpal row.
3:42
And in general, to get problems between these two rows
3:45
of carpal bones, you have to have problems with ligaments
3:50
that cross the mid carpal joint, the arcuate
3:53
and the deltoid ligament.
3:55
There are four subcategories of this. I'm listing them here.
3:59
I'm gonna show you only two of them.
4:02
But here are diagrams indicating what is happening.
4:06
And you can see here
4:07
that the major abnormalities are at the level
4:10
of the mid carpal compartment.
4:12
Okay? So it's, it's not a problem within a compartment.
4:17
It's a problem between two compartments.
4:20
We to see this, you should have abnormalities of the arcuate
4:24
and or deltoid ligaments.
4:26
Let me show you two examples.
4:28
The first one would be labeled dorsal mid carpal
4:31
instability, dorsal subluxation of the capitate
4:35
and dorsal tilting of the scaphoid and lunate.
4:38
And typically there may be additional tearing
4:41
of the radio scap capitate ligament.
4:44
So here's the normal alignment.
4:45
This is what happens with this pattern.
4:49
The scaphoid and lunate move together
4:52
because the ligaments between them are normal.
4:55
The problem is in the position of the capitate
4:59
with respect to the lunate.
5:01
So here is what it looks like.
5:04
You can see this, uh, in beautiful uh, diagram here
5:08
and I'll show you what it looks like.
5:10
So note that there is dorsi flexion of the scaphoid,
5:14
but there is dorsiflexion of the lunate.
5:16
So there's no dissociation.
5:19
It's the capitate in its position,
5:21
which is dorsally translated.
5:24
Okay, that makes this a mid carpal instability,
5:29
specifically dorsal mid carpal instability.
5:33
And then there is the other type I wanted
5:37
to show you extrinsic.
5:39
This is a similar problem that occurs typically related
5:42
to Amal united fracture of the distal radius.
5:46
So let me show you here is normal alignment.
5:49
Here is a malted fracture of the distal radius.
5:53
As you know, there's often dorsal tilting
5:56
Of the articular surface
5:58
and you can see the MA alignment that may accompany that
6:03
with abnormalities centered in the mid carpal joint.
6:06
Here is what it looks like.
6:08
This is a remote ma united fracture of the radius.
6:12
The scaphoid is dorsally tilted as is the lunate.
6:15
They're moving together. The capitate is translated in
6:19
a dorsal direction.
6:20
This is known as extrinsic, mid carpal instability.
