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.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults over 18 who have undergone the specified surgical procedure for scapholunate instability.
Not a fit: Patients with mental deficiencies or those under legal protection may not benefit from this study due to their inability to comply with the study protocol.
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 performed: 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.
