title: [The treatment of fresh and chronic scapho-lunate tendon ruptures using trans-osseous reinsertion and capsulodesis].
abstract: Presented here is a surgical method which attempts to reconstruct the dorsal scapho-lunate ligaments in a anatomical manner. This is done by using the remainders of the ligaments which, in our patients, where still present month after the accident. For additional stabilisation a capsulodesis according to Blatt is performed. The early results up to 20 month after surgery in 11 patients are encouraging, especially according to subjective complaints. However, a restriction of movement must be expected. The dorsal subluxation of the lunate can only rarely be fully corrected. The more significant long-term results are as yet not available.
