Mid-term Outcome of the All-Dorsal Augmented Scapholunate Ligament Reconstruction for Chronic Scapholunate Instability.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic scapholunate instability can be treated with the all-dorsal scapholunate augmented reconstruction This study examined the mid-term outcome of a multicentre series of this technique.

Methods

Patients with chronic symptomatic scapholunate instability that underwent surgical treatment were included. Patients with wrist arthritis were excluded. Assessment consisted of clinical (range of motion, grip strength, pain), functional (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand [DASH] score; Patient-Related Wrist Evaluation [PRWE] score and patient satisfaction), and radiographic measurements (scapholunate distance, scapholunate angle, radiolunate angle, capitolunate angle, dorsal scaphoid translation, and drill hole diameter).

Results

Eighteen consecutive pati
