Le signe de l'anneau est un signe d'instabilité scapho-lunaire qui traduit l'horizontalisation du scaphoïde (scaphoïde en flexion) : il est diminué de hauteur et un anneau bien cerclé apparaît à sa partie inférieure. Cet anneau correspond à la projection du scaphoïde qui est vu pratiquement par en dessous. [D'après SACAR, 1989, p. 56.]
