ABSTRACT
Scapholunate ligament injuries are common and can lead to a predictable pattern of arthritis (scaphoid lunate advanced collapse wrist) if unrecognized or untreated. This article describes the relevant anatomy, biomechanics, and classification system, and provides an up-to-date literature-based review of treatment options, including acute repair and various reconstruction techniques. It also helps guide surgeons in making decisions regarding a systematic treatment algorithm for these injuries.
