Scapholunate Ligament Partial Tears; Tear Localization, Extrinsic Ligament Injury Association and Conservative Treatment Responses Prior to Instability

Completed
Conditions
Scapholunate Ligament Partial Tears
Registration Number
NCT05102357
Lead Sponsor
Istanbul Medipol University Hospital
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate scapholunate ligament partial tears regarding tear localization, extrinsic ligament accompaniment in stable wrist and accordingly to scrutinize conservative treatment response.

Detailed Description

Patients admitted with radial sided wrist pain without carpal instability were retrospectively evaluated. Scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIOL) tear localization, grade of injury and associated extrinsic ligament injuries were examined on MRI. Patients treated conservatively and recalled at their first year for re-evaluation.
