Pdf Summary
Scapholunate instability refers to abnormal motion between the scaphoid and lunate bones in the wrist, leading to pain and reduced grip strength. Treatment varies based on severity and stage of instability. Conservative measures like splinting may be sufficient in early stages, while surgery is necessary as instability progresses. Surgical options include ligament repair, reconstruction, and joint stabilization. Choice of procedure depends on factors like instability extent, degenerative changes, and patient activity level. Post-surgical rehab involves immobilization and physical therapy. Success depends on factors such as instability stage and patient compliance.
