[Mediocarpal instability of the wrist].
Der Unfallchirurg 2018 May
Typical lesions of the carpal ligaments are mostly found after a fall on the wrist in hyperextension or as complex injuries after severe trauma, e. g. after a fall from a significant height, motorcycle accident or as accompanying lesions in multiple trauma. The typical mechanisms, patterns and diagnostic algorithms are well known for the common ligamentous injuries (e.g. scapholunate, lunotriquetral and perilunate); therefore, consistent diagnostic procedures and adequate therapy are increasingly performed after such lesions, e. g. by early ligament repair or by ligament reconstruction through augmentation. Within appropriate operative treatment, accompanying fractures are also treated and instabilities are addressed by transfixation of joints by Kirschner wires. If followed by immobilization with a cast or stable brace, healing can be achieved in most cases; however, more problems occur if ligamentous lesions or instabilities are not clearly due to a trauma mechanism and more the result of laxity or hypermobile situations due to a congenital predisposition. In such cases, wrist pain is often described and misdiagnosed as the result of overload or tenovaginitis.
