Arthroscopically diagnosed scapholunate ligament injuries associated with distal radial fractures: a 13- to 15-year follow-up.
(2015-06)PURPOSE: To evaluate the natural history of untreated complete or partial scapholunate (SL) ligament tears associated with displaced distal radius fractures. METHODS: Between 1995 and 1997, 51 consecutive patients aged < ... -
Assessment of scapholunate instability and review of evidence for management in the absence of arthritis.
(2013-09)Scapholunate ligament tear is a common wrist injury and may lead to degenerative arthritis of the wrist in the long term. We review the assessment and classification of scapholunate instability and discuss the findings ... -
