    Distal radius fractures often require advanced imaging techniques due to conventional radiography's limitations in assessing soft tissue injuries.

  • 2

    Scapholunate ligament (SLL) tears are common in distal radius fractures and can lead to significant long-term complications if untreated.

  • 3

    Gantry-free cone-beam CT (CBCT) arthrography combines fluoroscopy and 3D imaging, potentially improving the diagnostic workflow for SLL injuries.

  • 4

    This study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy and efficiency of gantry-free CBCT arthrography in patients with suspected SLL tears after wrist trauma.

  • 5

    The one-stop-shop approach of CBCT arthrography allows for simultaneous contrast injection and imaging, enhancing patient care in acute settings.
