Background: Although trauma is a major cause of symptomatic scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL) pathology, many patients do not recall a specific injury or repetitive trauma. We report on: (1) the prevalence of SLIL signal changes in patients who underwent wrist magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for various indications; and (2) the prevalence of SLIL signal changes on MRI in patients without prior wrist trauma.

Methods: This is a retrospective study evaluating 1021 patients who underwent wrist MRI or magnetic resonance arthrogram.
