Abstract
A retrospective study was done to assess the outcome after repair of completely ruptured scapholunate interosseous ligaments using the Mitek TMMini G2 bone anchor. From 1994 to 1996. 12 patients underwent scapholunate ligament repair using the bone anchor. A follow-up assessment was done at a mean of 19 months postoperatively and revealed excellent or good results in eight patients, satisfactory in two, and poor in two patients, one of whom had developed lunate necrosis. One patient with an excellent functional result demonstrated recurrent dissociation of the scapholunate gap radiographically. The technique described proved to be simpler than conventional procedures in our hands, and yields similar functional results.
