What this trial studies

This is a retrospective observational study of adults who had a modified FCR tenodesis for scapholunate ligament injury at Waldfriede Hospital between 2016 and 2026. The main outcome is wrist function measured by the DASH questionnaire. Data are drawn from patients who could provide informed consent and who did not have active cancer, pregnancy, SLAC arthritis, or cognitive impairment that would prevent consent. No external comparison group or interventional protocol is described beyond the surgical procedure. The study aims to summarize functional outcomes after this specific surgical approach in a real-world setting.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience improved wrist function and symptoms after this reconstruction approach.

How similar studies have gone: Previous reports have explored FCR-based reconstructions with varying results; this study adds retrospective observational data from a single center.
