Abstract 

Twenty-eight patients with scapholunate interosseous ligament disruption, carpal instability, and persistent wrist pain were treated by carpal reduction, stabilization, and palmar ligament reconstruction.

Grip and pinch strengths averaged eighty-two percent and range of motion averaged seventy-six percent of the normal uninvolved side.
