A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the outcomes of two different rehabilitation approaches following scapholunate ligament reconstruction at Balgrist University Hospital. Patients will be randomly assigned to either early dart throwing motion mobilization or traditional anatomical plane mobilization starting from the second week post-surgery. The study aims to evaluate pain, strength, and mobility outcomes one year after the operation. By focusing on the dart-throwing motion, which is crucial for daily activities, the trial seeks to determine the most effective rehabilitation strategy for patients.
