InternalBrace for Intercarpal Ligament Reconstruction.

Abstract

Scapholunate and lunotriquetral instability are common causes of chronic, debilitating wrist pain and functional impairment. In the setting of subacute or chronic injuries with predynamic or dynamic instability, the ideal surgical approach remains unclear. In January 2020 the authors started enrolling patients with predynamic and dynamic instability in an Institutional Review Board-approved prospective study, aimed at meticulously studying outcomes using the all-dorsal InternalBrace reconstruction technique. The all-dorsal technique described herein is straightforward, efficient, and easy to learn, with early outcomes equivalent or superior to those of other techniques.
