Abstract

Firmly established lateral carpal instability may be practically corrected by a ligamentoplasty of the distal scaphoidal ligamentous complex. It may be entirely and definitively cured by a double ligamentoplasty of the distal scaphoidal complex and of the scapholunate ligament. Four cases with a postoperative follow-up of more than 2 years are presented.
