  • Radio-Luno-Triquetral Bone-Ligament Transfer As an Additional Stabilizer
    Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery https://doi.org/10.1007/s00402-020-03690-2 HANDSURGERY Radio‑luno‑triquetral bone‑ligament transfer as an additional stabilizer in scapholunate‑instability Luzian C. P. Haug1 · Tom Adler1 · Dietmar Bignion1 · Esther Voegelin1 Received: 23 April 2020 / Accepted: 11 November 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Introduction Reconstruction of the scapho-lunate (SL) ligament is still challenging. Many diferent techniques, such as capsulodesis, tendon graft and bone-ligament-bone graft have been described to stabilize reducible SL dissociation. If primary ligament repair alone is not possible, an additional stabilizer is needed to achieve scapho-lunate stability. A new local bone-ligament transfer using half of the radio-luno-triquetral ligament is performed. The direction of traction of the transposed ligament is very similar to the original ligament. Ideal tension can be attained by fxation of the bone block at the dorsal ridge of the scaphoid. The biomechanical stability of this bone-ligament transfer shall be examined biomechanically. Material and methods Computed tomography imaging was performed using eight cadaveric forearms with a defned posi- tion of the wrist. Axial load was accomplished with tension springs attached to the extensor and fexor tendons. Three series ([a] native, [b] divided SL ligament and [c]) after reconstruction with bone-ligament transfer] were reconstructed three- dimensionally to determine the angles between radius, scaphoid and lunate. The radial distal part including a bone fragment of the radio-luno-triquetral ligament was transferred from its insertion at the distal edge of the radius to be attached to the dorsal ridge of the scaphoid.

Abstract Background The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiological midterm results of a combined dorsal tenodesis–capsulodesis for static and reducible scapho- lunate dissociation (SLD). Patients and Methods We evaluated 20 of 22 consecutive patients with static SLD minimum with follow-up of 2 years operated between 2003 and 2012. The mean age was 40 years (range: 23–65 years). Seventeen were men. Final evaluation included comparative wrist range of motion (ROM) and grip strength, pre- and postoperative pain and function by visual analog scale, and QuickDASH and Wrightington scores. Radio- graphs included preoperative, early postoperative, and final X-rays. Scapholunate space (SLS) and scapholunate and radioscaphoid angles (SLA and RSA) were measured. Statistical significance was evaluated with Student t-test, considered significant when p < 0.05. Results Mean follow-up was 67 months (range: 24–126 months). Mean final ROM was: flexion 55 degrees (73%), extension 62 degrees (90%), radial deviation 19 degrees (82%), and ulnar deviation 44 degrees (90%).

No statement or presentation made is to be regarded as dedicated to the public domain. Precourse 12: Athletic Injuries of the Upper Extremity: The Adolescent to the Adult - The Amateur to the Professional The treatment of the injured athlete remains a continued challenge. The skeletally immature, the weekend warrior, the high-level amateur and the professional athlete all pose specific difficulties for the hand surgeon in treating the injury. Ultimately, however, the surgeon is nearly always faced with the goal of early return to play with minimal risk. This goal must be balanced with the chance of re-injury and lasting damage to the patient. The purpose of this pre-course is to offer an up-to-date review of hand, wrist and forearm injuries in the athlete, emphasizing pertinent anatomy, mechanism of injury, conservative and operative treatment and safe return to play. Lectures given by noted faculty will be divided into anatomic modules with attention to bone, ligament, tendon and miscellaneous topics. Case presentations will initiate each talk followed by a concise presentation on the specific topic emphasizing potential differences between the adolescent and the adult and the amateur versus the pro.

  • Modern Approaches to the Treatment of Scapholunate Interosseous Ligament Injuries (Literature Review) O.G
    Genij Ortopedii, Vol. 26, no 4, 2020 © Shershneva O.G., Kirpichev I.V., 2020 DOI 10.18019/1028-4427-2020-26-4-593-599 Modern approaches to the treatment of scapholunate interosseous ligament injuries (literature review) O.G. Shershneva, I.V. Kirpichev Ivanovo State Medical Academy, Ivanovo, Russian Federation Purpose The scapholunate interosseous ligament binding the scaphoid and lunate is a primary stabilising ligament between these two bones. The ligament tear causes chronic instability and degenerative arthritis of the wrist. The scapholunate tears are characterized by different degrees of lesions and their remoteness. The paper is a review of various techniques used to repair or reconstruct the scapholunate ligament according to the clinical stages and anatomic-pathologic findings. Methods A review of the literature covering this topic is presented. Results Conservative treatment is primarily indicated in stable and partial ligament tears. Arthroscopic treatment is used when immobilization is unsuccessful. Reduction of scapholunate space and fixation with Kirshner wires are the most frequently used arthroscopic techniques. Primary repairs of the injured ligaments are performed surgically with efficient results. Surgical indications depend on the severity of the instability, the remoteness of the injury and the presence of degenerative changes. Acute repairs of scapholunate ligament injuries is the ‘gold standard’ as an earlier intervention provides better results. Acute injuries to the scapholunate ligament require two- four weeks before surgery. Within this period the ligament is often still repairable itself both with or without supplementary capsulodesis procedures; ligament reconstruction is generally preferable in patients with chronic injures. There are many arthroscopic techniques to treat chronic scapholunate injures such as scapholunate ligament primary repair using various types of capsulodesis, tendon graft reconstruction, bone-ligament-bone procedure, various intercarpal fusions and proximal row carpectomy, total wrist fusion and arthroplasty.

  • Electronic Poster Abstracts P1. Pre-Op CT Scan for Distal Radius Fracture
    Electronic Poster Abstracts P1. Pre-op CT Scan For Distal Radius Fracture: Is It Really Necessary? Jonathan Guevara, MD; Panattoni Joao, MD Saint Louis University, Saint Louis, MO Introduction: Operative treatment of distal radius fractures has gained popularity due to its good outcomes. While preoperative CT scanning theoretically helps preoperative planning, routine use is not standard practice and depends on the surgeon’s preference. The purpose of this study was toevaluate the value of a preoperative CT scan, as determined by postoperative radiographic outcome in patients with a fracture of the distal radius. Materials/Methods: Between May 2013 and December 2014 62 patients with 66 AO/OTA type 23-C fractures were treated with a volar locking plate and had a postoperative CT scan. All patients were available for review. Postoperative radiographic outcome of these fractures was assessed using the postoperative CT scan, evaluating the following radiographic determinants: radial inclination, volar tilt, step-off, intra-articular gap, and assessment of sigmoid notch reduction. Of these 66 fractures, 32 had a preoperative CT scan, and 34 did not. In this way, radiographic outcome for fractures in which a preoperative CT scan had been obtained for operative planning purposes was compared to that of fractures not scanned preoperatively. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups for any of the radiographic outcome determinants. Those without a preoperative CT scan had acceptable radial inclination (19.7 +/- 4.7mm), volar tilt (10.3 +/- 6.4mm), step-off (0.7 +/- 1.2mm), intra-articular gap (1.7 +/- 2.4mm), and sigmoid notch malreduction (3 of 34 not reduced).
