Chronic scapholunate ligament instability remains an unsolved problem. A variety of approaches have been described, including bone procedures, such as limited intercarpal fusions and proximal row carpectomy, as well as soft tissue procedures of ligament reconstruction such as direct repair, capsulodesis, tendon graft, and bone-ligament-bone graft. None are entirely satisfactory because of the common outcome of late failure. These cases demonstrate an unpublished soft tissue technique, employing a strip of extensor retinaculum attached to the dorsal triquetrum, inserted into the distal dorsal scaphoid to construct a dorsal intercarpal support along the path of the normal scaphotriquetral ligament.
