All-Dorsal Arthroscopic Ligamentoplasty (ADAL) in Scapholunate Instability Management: Surgical Technique.

ABSTRACT: In advanced scapholunate instability, a scapholunate repair by open or arthroscopic ligamentoplasty is indicated. Although the radiographic results and functional scores are more or less satisfactory for open ligamentoplasty, it is often responsible for a decrease in joint amplitude postoperatively. Arthroscopic techniques are therefore of great interest, since they respect the joint capsule, but they remain technically difficult and demanding surgeries, requiring a good deal of experience in arthroscopy and using bone tunnels that are potentially a source of complications, as well as pinning to the palmar side of the wrist, which is potentially dangerous for the palmar structures of the wrist. We present a surgical technique of scapholunate ligamentoplasty under arthroscopy, focusing only
