Abstract:
Methods and kits are provided to treat scapho-lunate ligament tears, which involve stabilization of the scaphoid and lunate both dorsally and volarly. The treatments can be performed through open, mini-open or arthroscopic procedures, as an intra-capsular or extra-capsular repair and stabilization procedure. The treatment procedures involve the use of sutures or wires to fix the relative orientations of the scaphoid and lunate, and the optional use of bone anchors or other bone attachment devices to create a capsulodesis between the lunate and scaphoid, or other bones, to lift the scaphoid into the desired position. Localization of the entry point of the sutures or wires into the bones are used to improve positioning of the bone anchors, sutures and wires.
