An interventional study of arthroscopic assisted volar scapholunate capsulodesis and arthroscopic assisted dorsal scapholunate capsulodesis in Scapholunate Interosseous Ligament Injury and SLLI, sponsored by Ain Shams University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-04-13.
Sponsored by Ain Shams University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The aim of this case series study is to test the efficacy of arthroscopic assisted volar, dorsal or combined scapholunate capsulodesis in the management of scapholunate ligament injuries.
The aim of this case series study is to test the efficacy of arthroscopic assisted volar, dorsal or combined scapholunate capsulodesis in the management of scapholunate ligament injuries. All patients will be assessed preoperatively by careful history taking , full general and local examination and radiological evaluation using wrist plain X-rays (Standard PA, clenched-fist PA , PA in ulnar deviation , lateral projection in neutral ,flexion and extension ) and wrist Magnetic resonance imaging.an informed written consent was taken before any surgery. The procedure starts with a standard radiocarpal and then midcarpal arthroscopy. During the arthroscopic examination ,several factors are assessed, including the location of the SLIL injury (volar, membranous, dorsal, or complete), the condition of the cartilage, the reducibility of the carpus, and other associated pathologies like TFCC injury. Classification is done using Geissler Classification, Garcia Elias Classification and EWAS classification.Volar capsulodesis using Hayman Lui et al or Del Pinal et al method and/or dorsal capsulodesis using original Mathoulin technique or combined capsulodesis were done.
