Abstract
A clinical, radiological and four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) assessment of the outcomes of scapholunate intercarpal ligamentoplasty (SLICL) was done with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Twenty-nine patients (23 men and 6 women) with a mean age of 40 years (22–57) who had chronic scapholunate dissociation were treated with the SLICL procedure. There were 18 cases of dynamic instability and 11 of static instability. The patients were evaluated with a mean follow-up of 61 months (24–94). SLICL significantly reduced pain and increased grip strength and wrist function. On radiographs, the mean static and dynamic scapholunate gaps as well as the scapholunate and radiolunate angles improved significantly. The dorsal scaphoid displacement was always corrected. 4DCT after surgery provided a more precise analysis of the SLICL’s effectiveness at restoring intracarpal alignment. Correction of the DISI deformity and dorsal scaphoid displacement was confirmed. SLICL restored a normal variation in the scapholunate gap (range value) during radioulnar deviation movement without systematically reducing the distance between the bones (mean and maximum values) which remained pathological in wrists with static instability but not in those with dynamic instability. At the final follow-up, no patients had signs of osteoarthritis due to ScaphoLunate Advanced Collapse.
期刊介绍:
As the official publication of the French, Belgian and Swiss Societies for Surgery of the Hand, as well as of the French Society of Rehabilitation of the Hand & Upper Limb, ''Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation'' - formerly named "Chirurgie de la Main" - publishes original articles, literature reviews, technical notes, and clinical cases. It is indexed in the main international databases (including Medline). Initially a platform for French-speaking hand surgeons, the journal will now publish its articles in English to disseminate its author''s scientific findings more widely. The journal also includes a biannual supplement in French, the monograph of the French Society for Surgery of the Hand, where comprehensive reviews in the fields of hand, peripheral nerve and upper limb surgery are presented.
Organe officiel de la Société française de chirurgie de la main, de la Société française de Rééducation de la main (SFRM-GEMMSOR), de la Société suisse de chirurgie de la main et du Belgian Hand Group, indexée dans les grandes bases de données internationales (Medline, Embase, Pascal, Scopus), Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation - anciennement titrée Chirurgie de la main - publie des articles originaux, des revues de la littérature, des notes techniques, des cas clinique. Initialement plateforme d''expression francophone de la spécialité, la revue s''oriente désormais vers l''anglais pour devenir une référence scientifique et de formation de la spécialité en France et en Europe. Avec 6 publications en anglais par an, la revue comprend également un supplément biannuel, la monographie du GEM, où sont présentées en français, des mises au point complètes dans les domaines de la chirurgie de la main, des nerfs périphériques et du membre supérieur.
