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.
