Scapholunate joint stability relies on a complex of primary and secondary stabilizers, not just one ligament. Tissue-specific repairs are crucial for unique cases of scapholunate instability, with wrist arthroscopy playing a key role.

Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Hand Surgery
Arthroscopy

Background:

Scapholunate joint stability is multifactorial, involving a complex of primary and secondary stabilizers.
Individualized treatment approaches are necessary for scapholunate instability due to unique patient presentations.
Tears of the triangular fibrocartilaginous complex foveal attachment can cause distal radioulnar joint instability and are often underdiagnosed.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the pivotal role of wrist arthroscopy in assessing and treating scapholunate ligament complex derangements.
To emphasize the importance of distal radioulnar joint arthroscopy for diagnosing foveal attachment tears.
To discuss recent advancements in arthroscopic techniques for wrist and distal radioulnar joint instability.

Main Methods:

Review of current literature and techniques in wrist arthroscopy for scapholunate and distal radioulnar joint pathology.
Discussion of arthroscopic assessment and treatment strategies for ligament complex injuries.
Exploration of arthroscopic applications in fracture fixation, malunion correction, and nonunion management.

Main Results:

Wrist arthroscopy is essential for evaluating scapholunate ligament complex injuries.
Distal radioulnar joint arthroscopy enables diagnosis of previously underdiagnosed foveal tears.
Arthroscopy aids in fracture reduction, malunion correction, and bone grafting for scaphoid nonunions.

Conclusions:

Scapholunate joint stability depends on a ligament complex, necessitating tailored, tissue-specific repairs.
Wrist arthroscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing and treating various wrist instabilities and injuries.
Advancements in arthroscopic techniques are improving outcomes for complex wrist conditions.
