AbstractInjuries to the scapholunate ligament are the most frequent cause of carpal instability. Therefore, if a scapholunate lesion is not diagnosed, it may result in a severe dysfunction of the wrist. This review describes the anatomy, and the kinematics of the wrist with an intact as well as a disrupted scapholunate ligament. The diagnostic of an isolated ligament lesion and a ligament injury associated with a fracture of the distal radius is presented. Finally, an algorithm for treatment based on the stage of injury is proposed.
