Abstract:
This article describes the indications for the use of a bone-retinaculum-bone autograft in soft tissue reconstruction of the torn scapholunate ligament. Specific surgical technique and postoperative management are highlighted. Initial results of a primary cohort of patients undergoing this technique are described. The technique is mainly indicated for patients with scapholunate ligament tears that are moderately easy to reduce by open methods.

However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
