Scapholunate complex injuries are the most frequent lesions associated with distal radius fractures and the treatment algorithm according to the stage of the instability remains controversial. However, there is an admitted consensus around the necessary treatment of the associated high-grade instabilities. They occur frequently in young patients after high energy trauma, and not treated, they can lead to chronic wrist pain and eventually to scapholunate advanced collapse. The routine use of the arthroscopy provides an accurate intraoperative staging of the lesions and allows a tailored treatment depending on the severity of the scapholunate instability.

Articular malalignment and ulnocarpal impaction can progress to osteoarthritis in the wrist. This may be triggered by tears of the scapholunate ligament (rarely the lunotriquetral ligament) or the foveal lamina of the triangular fibrocartilage complex. In the pre-degenerative stages, radiographic findings are inconclusive, and symptoms may be absent or discrete.

Diagnosis of ligamentous wrist injuries can be challenging with the absence of dynamic instability on radiographs. Our aim was to evaluate the accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) arthrography in diagnosing scapholunate ligament (SLL), lunotriquetral ligament (LTL) and triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries. A systematic review and literature search were conducted in compliance with Preferred Reporting Items for a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) and registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, PROSPERO (CRD42024517655).

Background: The treatment of chronic scapholunate dissociation (SLD) can be challenging due to several factors such as poor quality of ligament, malalignment of the carpus, limited surgical options, and risk of recurrent instability. Various surgical techniques have been developed, but there is ongoing debate regarding the optimal surgical technique. This study aimed to report the clinical and radiological outcomes after dorsal scapholunate (SL) ligament complex reconstruction using suture tape-augmented autologous tendon graft.

Scaphoid proximal pole destruction remains a surgical challenge owing to its high propensity for nonunion and osteonecrosis. The hemi-hamate graft has shown promising results in addressing this issue. However, long-term results of non-vascularized composite grafts remain uncertain.
