[Elastometric study of the distal scaphoid ligamental complex and the scapho-lunar ligament].
Six wrists from fresh cadavers have formed the subject of a functional, histological and biomechanical study. This one has been realized by two methods: the one analytical, the other in the whole and in situ. The diverse experiences show up the pre-eminent role of the distal scaphoid ligamentous complex relative to the scapholunar ligament. This fact is in opposition to the generally admitted theories. It modifies the therapeutic approach to lateral carpal instabilities.
