Blatt's capsulodesis for chronic scapholunate instability.
Nineteen patients underwent a scapholunate interosseous ligament repair combined with a Blatt's capsulodesis for scapholunate instability between 1994 and 1999. The diagnosis was based on clinical, radiographic and arthroscopic assessments. Mean follow-up was 22 months (range: 8 months to 5 years). Fifteen patients were available for follow-up. Most (13 of 15) of the patients presented with pre...
متن کاملScapholunate Instability
Scapholunate instability is the most common carpal instability. The evaluation and treatment of scapholunate instability is controversial and the outcome unpredictable. This article will review the pertinent ligamentous anatomy of the wrist and carpal kinematics. There will be a discussion of the clinical presentation, examination, and diagnostic testing of the patient suspected of having scaph...
متن کاملArthroscopic debridement and closed pinning for chronic dynamic scapholunate instability.
PURPOSE For chronic dynamic scapholunate (SL) instability (>3 months after injury) open procedures (capsulodesis, limited intercarpal fusions, tenodesis, SL ligament reconstruction) have become popular in recent years but their long-term results have been suboptimal. We evaluated retrospectively the results of aggressive arthroscopic debridement of the SL ligament to bleeding bone in an effort ...
متن کاملScapholunate instability--a spectrum of pathology.
Five cases of scapholunate instability are reported. The condition is commonly misdiagnosed in accident and emergency departments. The importance of a complete clinical assessment of the suspected scaphoid injury and the need to measure the scapholunate distance and the scapholunate angle on the radiographs is stressed.
متن کاملScapholunate instability: proprioception and neuromuscular control.
From a kinetic point of view, the wrist is considered stable when it is capable of resisting load without suffering injury. Several prerequisites are necessary for the wrist to be kinetically stable: bone morphology, normal articulating surfaces, ligaments, the sensorimotor system, the muscles crossing the wrist, and all nerves connecting to ligaments and muscles. Failure of any one of these fa...
