All-Dorsal Scapholunate Reconstruction With InternalBrace™ Ligament Augmentation Repair

In this animation, we will demonstrate the scapholunate ligament repair using the internal brace. Ligament augmentation. A tear in the wrist ligament between the scaphoid and the lunate creates an abnormal gap. If not repaired, the gap between these bones causes arthritis of the wrist. First, your surgeon makes an incision on top of the wrist, and a tendon graft is harvested for the ligament. Reconstruction. Next, two metal wires are used to close the abnormal gap. While these bones are held in place. Three metal wires are inserted into the scaphoid and lunate as guides, and three sockets are drilled. Next, the surgeon takes one end of the tendon graft and loads it onto the bone anchor along with a SutureTape. This anchor is then inserted into the first hole drilled on the scaphoid. Then a second suture anchor is used to insert the same construct into the second hole drilled onto the lunate. Lastly, your surgeon takes the final anchor and inserts the same tendon graft and SutureTape into the third bone socket. The remaining tape is cut, completing the reconstruction with internal brace ligament augmentation.
