Abstract
AbstractDespite the numerous techniques (both arthroscopic and open) for the treatment of acute scapholunate instability, there is no consensus on which one results in better healing of the ligaments. In the present work, we describe a new surgical technique to achieve stability of the scaphoid that enables the reduction inflexion and pronation of this bone when dissociation is produced. Using a high-strength suture wire with double cortical button anchor (Mini TightRope, Arthrex, Naples, FL, US, or MicroLink, Conmed, Largo, FL, US) stabilization of the scaphoid is achieved to protect ligament healing without the need for postoperative immobilization.
