Abstract
Scapholunate fusion appears to be an interesting surgical solution for carpal pathologies, which are sometimes difficult to manage as Kienbock's disease or chronic scapholunate instability. Open intracarpal fusion is notorious for decreasing joint range of motion due to the fusion of several carpal bones and because of the capsulotomy sectioning important ligamentous elements in carpal biomechanics. Wrist arthroscopy has already demonstrated its effectiveness in preserving joint mobility compared with open procedures. In this work, we present a detailed procedure for performing a scaphocapitate fusion under arthroscopy by specifying the key points of this procedure in our experience.
