The Quantitative Anatomy of the Dorsal Scapholunate Interosseous Ligament

Abstract: The dorsal SLIL is approximately 7.5 mm long and 1.8 mm thick. These parameters may be useful in treatment of SLIL injuries to restore the native anatomy. High-frequency ultrasound is a useful imaging technique to assess the dorsal SLIL, although further study is needed to assess the use of high-frequency ultrasound in detection of SLIL pathology.

“…The measurement of the scapholunate joint space, immediately underneath the dorsal portion of SLIL, appears to be a fast and repeatable procedure. Nevertheless, as previously reported by Manske et al (14) , scapholunate gap measured using US seems wider than assessed with plain radiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (3,24) , presumably due to the more dorsal site of measurement with US.…”

“…Ultrasound evaluation of the scapholunate ligament and scapholunate joint space in patients with wrist complaints in a rheumatologic setting Secondly, no comparison of US measurements and findings with the imaging gold standards such as radiography or MRI was made, since the study was carried out in a scenario of real clinical practice, where only a minority of patients need to undergo other imaging techniques. However, all US measurements were standardized and repeatable on the basis of previous studies (7,14,19,20) . Thirdly, the small number of subjects and nonhomogeneity of the cohort in terms of age and disease duration do not allow to draw definitive conclusions about the causative factors of SLIL degeneration.…”

“…A feasibility study on 6 subjects by Viviano et al 65 outlined UHFUS capabilities in hand imaging and discussed the potential application of this technique as a support both to the diagnosis of subcutaneous tissue, tendon, nerve, and vascular pathologies in the hand and wrist and to hand surgery. Manske and Huang 66 proposed a quantitative UHFUS evaluation of the anatomy of the dorsal scapholunate interosseous ligament in 20 subjects, due to its importance for carpal stability after hand surgical procedures.…”
