Dorsal intercalated segment instability
Dorsal intercalated segment instability (DISI) is a deformity of the wrist where the lunate angulates to the posterior side of the hand.[2][3]
Causes
The main causes of DISI are:[4]
- Wrist trauma, with or without a fracture
- Scaphoid fracture: bony DISI
- Distal radius fracture: compensatory DISI
- Malunion of radius fracture: adaptive DISI
- Scapholunate ligament instability: ligamentous DISI
Complications
Untreated dorsal intercalated segment instability eventually progresses to wrist osteoarthritis. For example, wrist osteoarthritis is present in about 85% of untreated cases of scapholunate instability after 36 months.[5]
