Summary

This study reviews the outcomes of a specific wrist surgery (modified FCR tenodesis) performed on 100 patients with scapholunate ligament tears between 2016 and 2026. The goal is to see how well the wrist works after surgery using a standard questionnaire. The study is observational and looks back at past cases, so it cannot prove the surgery works better than other treatments.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
modified flexor carpi radialis tenodesis (surgical procedure)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that the modified FCR tenodesis is a reliable surgical option for restoring wrist function after scapholunate ligament injury.
What could go wrong
This is a retrospective study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by patient selection or missing data. The procedure is surgical and carries typical risks like infection or stiffness.
