Abstract

Arthroscopic scapholunate volar and dorsal ligament reconstruction achieves an anatomic reconstruction, avoids an open approach and capsular detachment, and provides a strong construct for early mobilization. Clinical results are discussed. Detailed "surgical tips" and technical modifications are provided.

Keywords: Carpal instability; Scapholunate instability; Scapholunate ligament; Wrist arthroscopy.
