Postoperative radiographs obtained at the 1-year follow-up visit showing 2.7-mm scapholunate widening on the right, no evidence of ulnar translocation, and preservation of the radiolunate angle. It can be seen that the majority of the patient’s motion occurs at the midcarpal joint. Upper left, anteroposterior view of left side; upper right, anteroposterior view of right side; middle left, lateral view of left side; middle right, lateral view of right side; lower left, flexion view of the right (injured) side; lower right, extension view of the right (injured) side
