Failures of the three-ligament tenodesis for chronic static scapholunate dissociation are due to insufficient reduction.

چکیده
We retrospectively reviewed 13 patients who had successfully undergone three-ligament tenodesis for scapholunate instability, and compared the radiological outcome with 14 failed cases. The scapholunate angle in the failed group increased from 73 degrees to 81 degrees with a scapholunate gap of 532 mm, compared to a decrease in the successful group from 76 degrees to 66 degrees with a scapholunate gap of 2.94 mm. Postoperative radiographs may thus have a prognostic value and can also be used if confronted with a patient with persisting symptoms after operation. Salvage procedures may offer a better solution when tenodesis has failed and reduction is insufficient on radiographs, and we believe that redo operations are not indicated, when the initial reduction already failed.

Does the "three-ligament tenodesis" procedure restore carpal architecture in static chronic scapholunate dissociation?
The effect of the three-ligament tenodesis on the scapholunate angle and scapholunate gap was studied. A comparison was made between these angles preoperatively and postoperatively in 12 patients. There was a significant decrease in the scapholunate angle from 77 to 68 degrees, and the scapholunate gap was reduced from 4.25 mm to 3.29 mm. We also studied the correlation between scapholunate ang...
متن کاملChronic scapholunate dissociation: ligament reconstruction combining a new extensor carpi radialis longus tenodesis and a dorsal intercarpal ligament capsulodesis.
Scapholunate dissociation (SLD) is the commonest cause of carpal instability and wrist osteoarthrosis. The value of early diagnosis and treatment of this injury is well established in the literature. When a partial or total rupture of the scapholunate ligament is treated with early anatomic reduction and repair, functional results may be good to excellent. However, if this ligament is not addre...

متن کاملCurrent role of open reconstruction of the scapholunate ligament.
This paper is a review of the various surgical techniques used in repair or reconstruction of the scapholunate ligament according to the clinical stages and anatomic-pathologic findings. Arthroscopy permits a direct evaluation of the scapholunate injury and the status of the articular surfaces. Specific indications for each type of scapholunate ligament tear are proposed, from the different typ...
متن کاملTreatment of Scapholunate Dissociation With Palmaris Longus Tendon Graft: A Biomechanical Study
Posttraumatic instability of the wrist, resulting in scapholunate dissociation, is a common injury pattern in the wrist [2]. Mayfield et al. [1] described instability progressing sequentially from a scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL) tear to complete ligament failure around the lunate, resulting in lunate dislocation. Linscheid et al. [4] also demonstrated that excision of the dorsal rad...
