Abstract
In a patient with symptomatic unilateral clicking of the wrist, a partial tearof the scapholunate ligament with subsequent scarring of the proximal third ofthe dorsal portion of the ligament had occurred. At operation the dorsomedial edge of the proximal pole of the scaphoid had snapped over the dorsal edge of the lunate as the palmar-flexed wrist was being returned to a neutral position. Release of the scarred portion of the scapholunate ligament was associated with widening of the scapholunate joint space to normal dimensionsand cessation of the clicking phenomenon. Fourteen months after operation there was complete relief of symptoms, a full range of wrist motion and no radiographic evidence of widening of the scapholunate space, ligamentous instability, or rotatory subluxation of the scaphoid.
