First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 37 times
Summary
This study follows 35 adults who had a specific wrist ligament surgery (dorsal ligamentoplasty with an internal brace) for scapholunate instability. The goal is to see how well the surgery holds up over 5 years, with the main measure being whether patients need another surgery. The approach uses a tendon graft and suture tape to repair the ligament, aiming to restore wrist function and avoid future problems.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Dorsal ligamentoplasty reinforced with an internal brace (surgical procedure using a tendon graft and suture tape)
What this could lead to
If successful, this surgery could provide a durable way to stabilize the wrist and avoid repeat operations for people with scapholunate instability.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study with only 35 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply to everyone. The surgery itself carries typical surgical risks like infection or nerve damage.
