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...

  Ganglion cysts are the most common wrist tumors, and 60 -70% originate dorsally from the scapholunate interval.  Ossification of these lesions is exceedingly rare, with only one such lesion located in the finger reported in the literature. We present a case of an ossified dorsal wrist ganglion in a 68-year-old woman.  

The scapholunate (SL) ligament (SLL) is the most commonly injured carpal ligament.1 The SLL is C-shaped and has three structurally distinct parts: volar; membranous; and dorsal (Fig. 1).2 The dorsal part of the SLL is the strongest and the primary stabiliser of the SL joint and can resist forces of up to 260 N.3 The avascular proximal membranous portion does not provide any significant laxity r...

Perilunate injuries occur after an impact trauma to the wrist. The recognition of these lesions and immediate treatment are the two essential conditions to ensure the best possible outcome. The first therapeutic step is the restoration of anatomical joint relationships of the carpus followed by percutaneous pinning or internal fixation required for maintaining the congruence this segment. Despi...
