Erratum: Arthroscopic Suture Anchor Scapholunate CapsulodesisJ Wrist Surg eFirst

Abstract

Background: A retrospective review was performed of 15 adult patients who underwent arthroscopic suture anchor scapholunate capsuloligamentous repair between 2021 and 2023.

Patient/Methods/Results: There were 12 male and 3 female patients, with a mean age of 44.9 years. Eight patients had European Wrist Arthroscopy Society (EWAS) II (Geissler II), four patients had EWAS IIIC (Geissler III), and three patients had EWAS IV (Geissler IV). After a follow-up of 12 months (12–26), the mean grip strength significantly improved by 131% compared with presurgery. There was a significant improvement in the visual analog scale score from 6 to 1.2, the Mayo Wrist Score from 43.5 to 86.5, and the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire score from 65.9 to 6.5. Two EWAS IV patients had recurrent symptomatic scapholunate diastasis requiring scapholunate ligamentoplasty.

Conclusion: The arthroscopic dorsal scapholunate capsuloligamentous repair with suture anchors is a reliable and safe technique with minimal complications. It is recommended for reducible acute or chronic injury to the scapholunate ligament complex with suspected avulsion injury.
