This study introduces a novel scapholunate reconstruction technique using a flexor carpi radialis tendon graft. The method effectively reduces carpal instability and maintains scaphoid-lunate alignment, showing promising early clinical outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hand Surgery
  • Musculoskeletal Research

Background:

  • Scapholunate (SL) instability presents a significant surgical challenge.
  • Existing reconstruction techniques have limitations in addressing chronic SL instability comprehensively.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel technique for scapholunate reconstruction.
  • To reduce subluxation and maintain scaphoid-lunate relationships.
  • To augment secondary stabilizers for enhanced carpal stability.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective cohort study of 11 patients.
  • Scapholunate reconstruction using a rerouted flexor carpi radialis tendon graft.
  • Transosseous tunnels through scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum with interference screw fixation.

Main Results:

  • Successful utilization in over 40 patients since 2009.
  • 11 patients followed for 12-24 months demonstrated good early radiological and clinical outcomes.
  • The technique effectively reinforces translational relationships and SL articulation stability.

Conclusions:

  • The novel technique integrates beneficial aspects of prior methods while addressing shortcomings.
  • It offers a comprehensive approach to chronic SL instability.
  • The technique shows promise for improved patient outcomes in SL reconstruction.
