Abstract
Seven patients with chronic scapholunate instability (Geissler grade 2-4) were treated by percutaneous placement of screws across the scapholunate joint after arthroscopic debridement of the remnants of the scapholunate ligament. In all seven cases, the screw caused partial destruction of the lunate and/or scaphoid requiring screw removal within 6 months. We no longer perform this procedure.Entities:
