Abstract
Various surgical treatment options have been described to address chronic scapholunate dissociation. The Scapholunate Axis Method (SLAM) is a new technique used to reconstruct the scapholunate interosseous ligament. It is biomechanically advantageous compared with other ligament reconstruction techniques but clinical studies are lacking. We describe a previously unreported complication of avascular necrosis of the lunate after the SLAM procedure.
