Abstract
Various surgical techniques exist to repair or reconstruct complete scapholunate (SL) interosseous ligament tears, including capsulodesis, static or dynamic tenodesis, ligament reconstruction with tendon graft, bone-retinaculum-bone reconstruction, and the reduction and association of the scaphoid and lunate (RASL) procedure. The choice of surgical technique depends on arthroscopic assessment using the Geissler classification and European Wrist Arthroscopy Society staging of SL injury. This article describes arthroscopy-assisted extracapsular SL reconstruction using free tendon graft and internal brace augmentation for the treatment of unrepairable complete SL interosseous ligament tears.
