360° Scapholunate Reconstruction for Scapholunate Ligament Injuries

At the Hand and Wrist Master Class: Carpal Instabilities, Steven Niedermeier, MD (Arlington, TX), discusses the indications for a 360° scapholunate reconstruction, provides a step-by-step review of the technique, and summarizes current literature to support the procedure for stage-specific scapholunate ligament injuries.

The InternalBrace surgical technique is intended only to augment the primary repair/reconstruction by expanding the area of tissue approximation during the healing period and is not intended as a replacement for the native ligament. The InternalBrace technique is for use during soft tissue-to-bone fixation procedures and is not cleared for bone-to-bone fixation.
