چکیده

Repair of the volar scapholunate ligament has not been performed arthroscopically. We present an all-inside technique that presents closure of the anterior scapholunate interval. A Tuohy needle and a resorbable suture are all that is required.

Arthroscopic volar capsuloligamentous repair.

Background The palmar aspect of the capsuloligamentous complex of the wrist is relatively inaccessible to surgery through an open approach. An all-inside arthroscopic suturing technique is presented that allows suturing of the palmar scapholunate or lunotriquetral ligaments or plication of the space of Poirier. Methods Eight palmar scapholunate ligaments and four major tears of the volar capsul...

The Management of Dorsal Radiocarpal Ligament Tears

The dorsal radiocarpal ligament (DRCL) has been implicated in both volar and dorsal intercalated segmental instabilities and has a role in midcarpal instability. Tears of the DRCL are more common than previously suspected. They are best seen through a volar radial portal and are amenable to arthroscopic repair. DRCL tears appear to be part of a spectrum of radialand ulnar-sided carpal instabili...

Dorsal wrist capsular tears in association with scapholunate instability: results of an arthroscopic dorsal capsuloplasty.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to report the association of dorsal wrist capsular avulsion with scapholunate ligament instability and to evaluate the results of an arthroscopy-assisted repair. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 10 patients with a mean age of 39.1 years suffering from chronic dorsal wrist pain. They underwent a wrist arthroscopy with an evaluation of the scapholunate liga...

Cadaveric scapholunate reconstruction using the ligament augmentation and reconstruction system.

Background Untreated scapholunate ligament disruption may lead to progressive wrist arthritis. Current techniques used to treat the disruption may not prevent arthritis because of attenuation of a reconstructive ligament substitute or failure to re-establish normal wrist kinematics. Questions/Purposes This study evaluates a combined synthetic-autologous technique for the treatment of scapholuna...
