And Function

Background: An institutional review board–approved study of the functional outcomes of patients after surgical treatment of hamate arthrosis lunotriquetral ligament tear (HALT) lesions was conducted. Methods: In all, 21 wrists in 19 patients underwent arthroscopic, open, or combined treatment of HALT lesions. Seven patients underwent isolated hamate debridement and 14 had concomitant procedures to address lunotriquetral pathology. Nineteen wrists underwent procedures to address additional pathology, including triangular fibrocartilage complex, ulnotriquetral ligament split, and scapholunate ligament injuries. Results: Mayo wrist scores increased from 54 to 71. Sixteen patients had no or mild pain postoperatively, compared with none preoperatively. When stratified by lunotriquetral interosseous ligament management, 75% of the limited treatment group (none or debridement) and 78% of the additional treatment group reported improved pain. Three patients underwent additional surgeries for persistent pain. Conclusion: Resection of the proximal pole of the hamate can improve pain and function for patients with ulnar-sided wrist pain secondary to a HALT lesion. Concomitant wrist pathologies should be considered when determining treatment plans.

Chapter 100 describes the indications, the technique, and the imaging findings of wrist arthrography. Wrist arthrography is selectively performed in routine clinical practice for MR arthrography (MRA), typically in younger patients. The main indications include evaluation of the intrinsic interosseous wrist ligaments (scapholunate and lunotriquetral) and triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries. Contrast should easily inject and disperse throughout the radiocarpal joint space. Complications from contrast injection are rare and include infection and bleeding. Full-thickness tearing of any of the 3 components of the scapholunate and/or lunotriquetral ligament allows abnormal communication with the midcarpal joint. Central tearing of the triangular fibrocartilage disc allows abnormal communication with the distal radioulnar joint.

This paper presents a rare case of trans-scaphoid, transcapitate, transtriquetral, perilunate fracture–dislocation of the right wrist as a result of a motorcycle accident. Open reduction and internal fixation of the scaphoid and capitate with one screw was performed and the lunotriquetral ligament was repaired using a suture anchor.

Whilst osseous coalitions of the lunate and the triquetrum are known to be asymptomatic, fibrocartilage lunate-triquetral coalitions can present an uncommon cause for ulnar-sided wrist pain. To diagnose this condition a high degree of suspicion is needed. We present a case with painful post-traumatic disruption of a fibrocartilage lunate-triquetral coalition that was primary misdiagnosed to be a disruption of the interosseous lunotriquetral ligament and was initially treated arthroscopically. Persistent symptoms lead to X-ray examination of the opposite wrist, revealing a complete osseous lunate-triquetral coalition. CT and MRI investigations demonstrated the fibrocartilage coalition of the affected wrist. Subsequently, lunotriquetral fusion using a cannulated Herbert screw was performed and settled the symptoms completely.
