Current evidence on arthroscopic capsuloligamentoplasty plications as treatment for chronic dynamic scapholunate...

Wrist arthroscopy has gained in importance to treat chronic scapholunate instability, since it is a less invasive alternative to open surgery that allows proper staging of the scapholunate lesion and induces less stiffness. Arthroscopic capsuloligamentoplasty plications or ligamentous tightening intent to reinforce the remnant but insufficient ligaments by plication, without bone tunnels, large suture anchors or tendon grafts. In this study, we discuss the current existing arthroscopic capsuloligamentoplasty plications on the dorsal and volar side of the wrist.
