Scapholunate Instability: Advanced Reconstructive Techniques (IC09) - 2012 Annual Meeting (Lecture 02)
Faculty: Michael J. Hayton, MD
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the clinical problem of scapholunate instability.
- Assess the minimally invasive options of stabilization of scapholunate instability.
- Describe the tips and tricks to optimize the outcome of the traditional open techniques.
- Describe new methods of stabilizing the scapholunate interval.
Duration: 18:32
Description
The main focus of the IC will be on the surgical options for stabilization of the scapholunate interval. The characteristic findings of scapholunate instability and the anatomical factors leading to the instability will briefly be presented. There will be presentations on new arthroscopic assisted techniques, and new open reconstructive methods of stabilization of the scapholunate interval. The indications of when to proceed to salvage options will be discussed.
