Scapholunate ligament
• C shaped ligament composed of dorsal, central and palmar subregions.
• Dorsal aspect most thick.
• Central aspect separated from the volar region by radioscapholunate ligament.
• Ligament of Testut
![Page 4: Carpal instability](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58a02f9c1a28ab4a2d8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• The Scaphocapitate and STT ligaments present dorsally resist palmar flexion of scaphoid.
• The RSC ligament and short and long radiolunate ligament on palmar aspect.
• The Lunotriquetral ligament also has 2 layers, with the volar region more thick.
![Page 5: Carpal instability](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58a02f9c1a28ab4a2d8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Proximal carpal row has no tendinous attachments and is called intercalated segment.
• Movement between the carpal bones is determined by ligamentous attachments and mechanical forces crossing the wrist.
![Page 6: Carpal instability](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58a02f9c1a28ab4a2d8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Biomechanics
• Lunate exists in suspension between the scapholunate ligament and lunotriquetrum lig.
• Scaphoid and triquetrum exert flexion and extension moment respectively.
• Tendons crossing the carpus exert compressive force on lunate through capitate.
![Page 7: Carpal instability](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58a02f9c1a28ab4a2d8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Mechanism of injury
• Fall on outstretched hand, high energy injuries.
• Hyperextension of wrist.• Mayfield- 4 stage progression.– Wrist extension.– Ulnar deviation.– Carpal supination.
![Page 8: Carpal instability](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58a02f9c1a28ab4a2d8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Progressive Perilunar Instability
• I- dorsal migration of proximal pole of scaphoid Scapholunate injury.
• II- extension, supination and ulnar deviation leads to force transmitted through space of Poirier.
![Page 9: Carpal instability](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58a02f9c1a28ab4a2d8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Triquetrum translates away from lunate LT ligament injury
• Dorsal radiocarpal ligament dissociation lunate rotates on its palmar hinge and dislocates with capitate articulating with the radius.
![Page 10: Carpal instability](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58a02f9c1a28ab4a2d8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Arthritic changes may occur in the setting of chronic scapholunate ligament injury and deformity of lunate, capitate and scaphoid may become static.
• Scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC)

Carpal Instability
• Carpal instability dissociative( CID)– Dissociation between interosseous ligaments
• Carpal instability non dissociative(CIND)– Instability of carpal row as a whole
• Carpal Instability Complex (CIC)– Combination of above two injuries
• Carpal Injury Adaptive (CIA)– Secondary changes in carpus resulting from non
union or malunion or the carpal bones
![Page 33: Carpal instability](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58a02f9c1a28ab4a2d8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Treatment concepts
• Acute injuries- Closed or arthroscopically controlled manipulation and percutaneous pinning; Open reconstruction/repair.
• Instability w/o arthrosis- ligament reconstruction, capsular imbrication and limited intercarpal arthrodesis.
![Page 34: Carpal instability](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58a02f9c1a28ab4a2d8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• Dorsal capsulodesis to limit scaphoid flexion.
• Fixed deformity, arthrosis, pain or interference with function- excisional arthroplasty, limited intercarpal arthrodesis and wrist fusion.
![Page 35: Carpal instability](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58a02f9c1a28ab4a2d8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Ligament repair
![Page 36: Carpal instability](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58a02f9c1a28ab4a2d8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Ligament Reconstruction
• Free tendon grafts or tenodesis using prolonged slips of wrist flexors or extensors.
• Linscheid and Dobyns suggested that procedure be limited to patients whose ligament ruptures cannot be maintained with closed reduction, patients diagnosed after 1 month.
![Page 37: Carpal instability](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062522/58a02f9c1a28ab4a2d8b45a1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Not indicated in patients with degenerative joint disease.
• Complications-– Tendons may stretch and become lax– Bone tunnels may lead to fracture and vascular
changes.– Tightness required to maintain bony apposition
may eventually limit wrist motion.
