Radiological evaluation of scapholunate intercarpal ligamentoplasty for chronic scapholunate dissociation in cadavers.
We performed a cadaveric study to evaluate radiological performance of a technique for scapholunate intercarpal ligamentoplasty designed for treating reducible scapholunate dissociation. We created scapholunate instability in 12 fresh adult cadaveric forearms by sectioning the dorsal scapholunate interosseous ligament and the dorsal intercarpal ligament. All wrists showed scapholunate diastasis, dorsal intercalated segmental instability and posterior scaphoid subluxation. We performed scapholunate intercarpal ligamentoplasty in six wrists and Garcia-Elias three-ligament tenodesis in another six. Wrists were examined radiographically both after ligament sectioning and after ligamentoplasty to compare static and dynamic scapholunate gaps and scapholunate and capitolunate angles. Improvement was statistically significant in all measurements, reflecting a return to normal values. Posterior scaphoid subluxation was also corrected. There was no significant difference between the two treatment groups. Our findings suggest that ligamentoplasty can restore scapholunate joint stability and normal carpal anatomy.
