Abstract

We report the occurrence of a short radiolunate ligament rupture in a rock climber. To our knowledge, an isolated traumatic rupture of this ligament has not been described in the literature, and awareness of this entity allows initiation of therapy. The magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound appearances are reviewed and the mechanism of injury is discussed.
