About this study

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Scapholunate ligament Injury
  • Wrist Extrinsic Ligament Injury

Exclusion criteria

  • Scapholunate Dissociation
  • Radiological and clinical instable wrist
  • Carpal bone fracture
  • MRI imaging artefact

Treatment and study plan

Conservative Treatment (splint)

Procedure

splint 6 weeks

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in visual analog scale for pain, disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand questionnaire and Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation scores from baseline and at first year

    Time frame: Baseline and 1 year

    Visual analog scale for pain scored from 0 to 10, disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand questionnaire scored and Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation scores from from 0 to 100 were scaled at initial admission, before treatment and at their first year recruitment after treatment for assessment conservative treatment success.
