Abstract

Ruptures of the scapholunate ligament (SLL) may cause carpal instability, also known as scapholunate dissociation (SLD). SLD may lead to osteoarthritis of the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints. The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the diagnostic value of wrist cineradiography in detecting SLD. All cineradiographic studies made during a 24 year period were retrieved. All patients who underwent the confirmation method (arthroscopy and/or arthrotomy) and cineradiography were included. In total, 84 patients met the inclusion criteria. Sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy for detecting SLD were calculated for radiography and cineradiography. Cineradiography had a sensitivity of 90%, a specificity of 97%, and a diagnostic accuracy of 0.93 in detecting SLD. Radiography had a sensitivity of 81%, a specificity of 80%, and a diagnostic accuracy of 0.81. Cineradiography has a high diagnostic value for diagnosing SLDs. A positive cineradiography markedly increases the post-test probability of SLD.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 March 2014.
All research outputs
#16,166,597
of 23,981,346 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume)
#587
of 1,241 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#123,470
of 198,001 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume)
#8
of 70 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,981,346 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,241 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 198,001 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 70 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
