Abstract
Treatment of chronic scapholunate ligament injuries can be challenging. Traditional reconstructive techniques, including varied capsulodeses and tenodeses often yield inconsistent results with loss of reduction and radiographic deterioration. As a result, supplemental hardware fixation has become more popular and may allow more robust stabilization of the scapholunate reconstruction. However, these procedures have complications and few data regarding outcomes are currently available. This article evaluates the role of supplemental fixation in the management of chronic scapholunate instability.
