Surgical Techniques in Nontraumatic Midcarpal Instability: Evaluating the Dorsal Capsulodesis and 3-Ligament Tenodesis Technique.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgical management of midcarpal instability (MCI), also referred to as carpal instability nondissociative, remains controversial because of limited evidence on different techniques. This study aimed to assess and compare differences in patient-reported pain, hand and wrist function, satisfaction, range of motion, and return to work in patients with nontraumatic MCI who underwent surgical treatment either through dorsal wrist capsulodesis or 3-ligament tenodesis (3LT).

Methods

Patients with MCI and persisting complaints after conservative therapy treated with 3LT or dorsal capsulodesis were included. Patients with posttraumatic instability were excluded. Primary endpoints included the Patient Rated Wrist Evaluation and Satisfaction with Treatment Result Questionna
