Understanding Scapholunate Ligament Injuries

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.

Treatment Options

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.
