Scapholunate instability frequently leads to chronic pain or even severe osteoarthritis of the wrist. Most favored reconstruction techniques of chronic SL-ligament injuries are based on the usage of a tendon, although there is still a lack of consensus which technique is superior.In a retrospective cohort analysis we compared 9 patients who underwent SL-ligament repair according to Van den Abbeele and 12 patients who underwent modified three ligament tenodesis according to Garcia-Elias, performed at a single institution.Follow-up of Van den Abbeele group was 36-120 months and 13-39 months in the Garcia Elias cohort. Although both techniques showed good functional outcome in most cases, modified three ligament tenodesis seemed to be advantageous regarding wrist range of motion (162°) compared to Van den Abbeele cohort (87°). Moreover, pain score showed significant differences between the two cohorts during follow up (VAS Van den Abbeele 4.2; VAS Garcia Elias 1.7). Interestingly, DASH-score (16.1 Van den Abbeele; 16.8 Garcia Elias) and modified mayo wrist score (72 Van den Abbeele; 69 Garcia-Elias) did not show any differences between the two patient cohorts.Via implementation of modified three ligament tenodesis as a standard of care for our patients we could improve the functional outcome after SL-ligament injuries and effectively decrease postoperative pain. |
