At the same time, the limited number of existing specific tests requires evaluation of their prognostic accuracy.</p> <p><bold>AIM</bold><italic><bold>:</bold> </italic>Evaluating the diagnostic significance of alternative specific tests in the diagnosis of scapholunate ligament injuries.</p> <p><bold>MATERIALS AND METHODS</bold><italic><bold>:</bold> </italic>In this study, we performed clinical examination and testing of both carpal joints in 50 subjects who had no complaints of carpal joint dysfunction or pain and denied a history of trauma. In clinical testing, the presence or absence of pain during palpation in the projection of the scapholunate ligament was analysed, as well as the specific Watson test, the navicular balloting test and the Kleinman test, for which specificity was assessed.</p> <p><bold>RESULTS</bold><italic><bold>:</bold> </italic>The specificity of scapholunate ligament palpation as a diagnostic test was 84.0%, Watson test — 96.0%, navicular balloting test — 98.0%, Kleinman test — 87.0%. The overall specificity of clinical tests was 79.0%. A combination of Watson test, navicular balloting test and Kleinman test achieved the highest specificity (86.0%).</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSIONS</bold><italic><bold>:</bold> </italic>Clinical testing is an important diagnostic tool in suspected scapholunate ligament injuries, however the benefit of isolated clinical tests is not absolute and therefore the best algorithm for clinical examination of the wrist joint may be the use of several specific clinical tests in combination.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование. </bold>Диагностика повреждений ладьевидно-полулунной связки кистевого сустава — одного из основных его стабилизаторов — при использовании неинвазивных инструментальных методов осложнена частыми ложными результатами обследования, в связи с чем клиническое тестирование имеет большое значение в постановке диагноза. При этом ограниченное количество существующих специфических тестов требуют оценки их прогностической точности.</p> <p><bold>Цель.</bold> Оценка диагностической значимости альтернативных специфических тестов в диагностике повреждений ладьевидно-полулунной связки.</p> <p><bold>Материалы и методы.</bold> В данном исследовании мы провели клинический осмотр и тестирование обоих кистевых суставов 50 испытуемых, не имевших жалоб на нарушение функции кистевых суставов или боль и отрицавших травматический анамнез. При клиническом тестировании анализировалось наличие либо отсутствие боли при пальпации в проекции ладьевидно-полулунного сочленения, а также проводились специфические тест Watson, тест баллотирования ладьевидной кости и тест Kleinman, для которых оценивалась специфичность.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> Специфичность пальпации области ладьевидно-полулунной связки как диагностического теста составила 84,0%, теста Watson — 96,0%, теста баллотирования ладьевидной кости — 98,0%, теста Kleinman — 87,0%. Общая специфичность клинических тестов составила 79,0%. Наибольшей специфичности достигает комбинация теста Watson, теста баллотирования ладьевидной кости и теста Kleinman (86,0%).</p> <p><bold>Заключение. </bold>Клиническое тестирование является важным диагностическим инструментом при подозрениях на повреждения ладьевидно-полулунной связки, однако польза изолированных клинических тестов не абсолютна, в связи с чем лучшим алгоритмом клинического обследования кистевого сустава может быть использование комбинации нескольких специальных клинических тестов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>scapholunate ligament</kwd><kwd>clinical examination</kwd><kwd>clinical diagnostics</kwd><kwd>wrist joint</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>ладьевидно-полулунная связка</kwd><kwd>клиническое обследование</kwd><kwd>клиническая диагностика</kwd><kwd>кистевой сустав</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Kitay A, Wolfe SW.
