Treatment of Scapholunate Dissociation With a Bioresorbable Polymer Plate: A Biomechanical Study

Radiographic Diagnosis of Scapholunate Dissociation Among Intra-articular Fractures of the Distal Radius: Interobserver Reliability

“…3,12 Accurate and reliable radiographic diagnosis of SLD associated with distal radius fractures might reduce the number of additional tests and unnecessary arthroscopic examinations. Radiographic signs of SLD include widening of the scapholunate gap, a scapholunate angle greater than 70°, discontinuity in the Gilula lines, and the presence of a scaphoid ring sign.…”

Radiographic Evaluation of the Modified Brunelli Technique Versus the Blatt Capsulodesis for Scapholunate Dissociation in a Cadaver Model

“…Some of the techniques used today include repair of the SLIL, screw reduction, debridement, capsulodesis, tenodesis, bone-tissue-bone fixation, and combinations thereof. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] The single most common surgical procedure performed for chronic SL instability with an irreparable SLIL without osteoarthritis in the United States and Canada is the Blatt capsulodesis (BC). 16 In 1987, Blatt described a dorsal capsulodesis to correct the excessive scaphoid flexion associated with SL dissociation.…”

The Path of Screw Insertion for Stabilization of the Scapholunate Joint: A Cadaveric Study

“…More recently, newer techniques have been described which include using the flexor carpi radialis muscle, 1 palmaris longus tendon, 2 and bioresorbable plates. 3 Screw stabilization of the scapholunate joint has been used over the last 20 years. It can be used either as a temporary or permanent means of fixation.…”
