ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at the long-term results of a surgery called dorsal ligamentoplasty, which is used to treat a wrist condition known as scapholunate instability. The study will follow patients who had this surgery and were fitted with an internal brace for five years after they left the hospital. The aim is to see how well this treatment works over time and if it helps improve patients' wrist function and quality of life.

To be part of this study, participants need to be at least 18 years old and have had the specific surgery mentioned. They should also be able to understand the study and agree to share their personal information. Unfortunately, individuals who have certain mental health issues or are under some form of legal protection won’t be able to participate. If you join the study, you can expect regular check-ins and assessments over the five years to monitor your wrist's recovery and function. Your participation can help provide valuable information for future treatments.
