Scaphoid Dislocation Reconstruction with Scapholunotriquetral Ligament Tenodesis.

ABSTRACT

Traumatic injuries leading to complex scaphoid dislocations are uncommon. We present a successful reconstructive case after a complex intercarpal instability injury using scapholunotriquetral tenodesis without the need for Kirschner wire fixation and early controlled range of motion therapy. At 3 months, the patient had a pain-free wrist with a 100-degree arc of motion and returned to work with full functionality. A literature review was performed to describe the previously published surgical treatments of this injury pattern and compare functional outcomes.
