ABSTRACT (full text pdf. below)

An All-Inside Technique for Arthroscopic Suturing of the Volar Scapholunate Ligament

Repair of the volar scapholunate ligament has not been performed arthroscopically. We
present an all-inside technique that presents closure of the anterior scapholunate interval. A
Tuohy needle and a resorbable suture are all that is required.

Key words: Arthroscopy, volar scapholunate ligament, suturing technique, wrist
