What this trial studies
This observational study follows patients who have undergone dorsal ligamentoplasty reinforced with an internal brace to treat scapholunate instability. Participants will be monitored for five years post-surgery to evaluate the long-term outcomes of this surgical intervention. The study aims to gather data on the effectiveness and durability of the treatment in improving wrist function and reducing pain. It involves multiple centers to enhance the diversity and reliability of the findings.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term effectiveness of a specific surgical technique for wrist instability, potentially improving patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach has been used in clinical practice, the specific long-term outcomes of this technique have not been extensively studied, making this a novel investigation.
