Abstract
Five cases of scapholunate instability are reported. The condition is commonly misdiagnosed in accident and emergency departments. The impor tance of a complete clinical assessment of the suspected scaphoid inju ry and the need to measure the scapholunate distance and the scapholun ate angle on the radiographs is stressed.
