Scapholunate Ligament Tear

Details and patient eligibility

About

The purpose of this study is to investigate scapholunate ligament partial tears regarding tear localization, extrinsic ligament accompaniment in stable wrist and accordingly to scrutinize conservative treatment response.

Full description

Patients admitted with radial sided wrist pain without carpal instability were retrospectively evaluated. Scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIOL) tear localization, grade of injury and associated extrinsic ligament injuries were examined on MRI. Patients treated conservatively and recalled at their first year for re-evaluation.
