Surgical Technique: Wide Arthroscopic Dorsal Capsuloligamentous Repair for Advanced Scapholunate Instability

Abstract

In the most advanced cases of scapholunate instability with dynamic or static signs, classical arthroscopic repair seems impossible. Ligamentoplasties or open surgery procedures are technically demanding, hampered by significant operative complications and often stiffening. Therapeutic simplification is therefore necessary for the management of these complex cases of advanced scapholunate instability. We propose a minimally invasive, reliable, and easily reproducible solution that requires little equipment other than arthroscopic material.
