Scapholunate Instability: Current Concepts in Diagnosis and Management Classification and Treatment Considerations –Part 2

Intervention for scapholunate instability is aimed at halting the degenerative process by restoring ligament integrity and normalizing carpal kinematics. Part 1 of this Current Concepts article reviewed the anatomy, kinematics, and biomechanical properties of the scapholunate ligament as well as its critical stabilizers. In this section, we provide a foundation for understanding the spectrum of scapholunate ligament instability and incorporate meaningful new anatomical insights that influence treatment considerations.
