Lutz,M.; Haid,C.; Steinlechner,M.; Kathrein,A.; Arora,R.; Fritz,D.; Gabl,M.; Pechlaner,S.; INTRODUCTION: Advances continue to improve direct reconstruction of the dorsal scapholunate (SL) ligament, which is the strongest part of the entire SL ligament and is known as the turning point between the scaphoid and lunate. This study was designed to compare the biomechanical properties of the dorsal SL ligament with those of a periosteal flap of the iliac crest, which is a new graft candidate for dorsal SL reconstruction.
