The scapholunate ligament is a crucial structure in the wrist that connects the scaphoid and lunate bones. Injuries to this ligament can lead to instability, pain, and long-term wrist problems. At Dr. Rao’s Ortho Clinic, we specialize in scapholunate ligament repair and reconstruction to address these issues and restore normal wrist function.
If you are looking for the best scapholunate ligament repair surgeon in Yelahanka and Basaveshwara Nagar, please contact us today.
Scapholunate ligament injuries often result from falls, trauma, or repetitive stress on the wrist. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, and a feeling of instability in the wrist. If left untreated, these injuries can lead to chronic pain, decreased wrist function, and conditions like scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) wrist.
Scapholunate Ligament Repair
For partial tears or acute injuries, scapholunate ligament repair is a highly effective treatment. This procedure involves suturing the torn ligament back together, often with the assistance of small anchors to ensure stability and promote healing.
Scapholunate Ligament Reconstruction
In cases of chronic or complete tears, ligament reconstruction may be necessary. This involves using a tendon graft, either from the patient or a donor, to reconstruct the damaged ligament. The graft is anchored to the scaphoid and lunate bones to restore stability and function to the wrist.
From initial diagnosis to personalized treatment plans and rehabilitation strategies, we ensure that every aspect of your orthopedic health is meticulously managed.
