Abstract
Scapholunate instability is the most common form of carpal instability. Imaging (especially radiography) plays an important role in the staging, management and post-operative follow-up of scapholunate (SL) instability. The goals of this article are to review the pre-operative staging of SL instability, the surgical options for repair and reconstruction of the SL ligament, along with the normal postoperative imaging findings as well as complications associated with these surgical options.
