Summary
This study introduces an arthroscopic technique for volar scapholunate interosseous ligament injuries. This minimally invasive approach offers a new option for treating these specific wrist ligament injuries.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Hand Surgery
- Arthroscopy
Background:
- Current scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL) injury treatments often focus solely on the dorsal aspect.
- Previous volar capsulodesis techniques utilized open or all-inside methods.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present an alternative arthroscopic technique for addressing volar SLIL injuries.
- To offer a novel surgical option for treating volar SLIL injuries.
Main Methods:
- Arthroscopic-assisted volar capsulodesis technique described.
- Focus on addressing the volar component of SLIL injuries.
Main Results:
- Successful arthroscopic approach for volar SLIL injuries reported.
- Demonstrates feasibility of minimally invasive volar capsulodesis.
Conclusions:
- Arthroscopic-assisted volar capsulodesis is a viable option.
- This technique may be integrated into the treatment of volar SLIL injuries.
