Overview
This study aims to compare patient outcomes from using different surgical techniques to treat scapholunate ligament (SLIL) injury (AIM 1); and to evaluate the effect of injury characteristics (chronicity, stage; AIM 2) on these outcomes.
Description
This study will involve routine care tests and assessments, including standard pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative assessments, and radiology procedures (such as x-rays, CT scans, and MRIs). During routine visits we will record all of the information that relates to the scapholunate ligament injury. Participants will be asked to complete:
• Nine visits over the next 24 months.
• Procedures will include clinical evaluation of the patient's wrist(s) including range of motion and strength testing, radiographs of the wrist(s), and questionnaires on pain, physical function, and psychosocial self-evaluation.
