Abstract
This article describes the indications for the use of a bone-retinaculum-bone autograft in soft tissue reconstruction of the torn scapholunate ligament. Specific surgical technique and postoperative management are highlighted. Initial results of a primary cohort of patients undergoing this technique are described. The technique is mainly indicated for patients with scapholunate ligament tears that are moderately easy to reduce by open methods.
