SUMMARY — THE REDUCTIONArthroscopic-assisted volar scapholunate capsulodesis provides an alternative technique to address volar scapholunate interosseous ligament injuries previously managed only through open approaches.
Abstract, as published

Most current surgical techniques for scapholunate interosseous ligament injuries address the dorsal component only. Previously, volar capsulodesis has been described either as an open approach or an "all-inside" technique. In this article, we report an alternative arthroscopic technique to address volar scapholunate interosseous ligament injuries. Arthroscopic-assisted volar scapholunate capsulodesis may be considered in the treatment algorithm for volar scapholunate interosseous ligament injuries.
