ABSTRACT

The scapholunate ligament is the most important ligament of the wrist and it is also the one that gets injured the most. If it is not treated adequately, it may end up in biomechanical alterations of the wrist with irreversible results. It is extremely important for the orthopedic surgeon to know and understand in detail the complex anatomy of the wrist in order to recognize the cases that require special attention to the problems that come from this kind of injury as well as to know the different treatments for each stage and so they will stop treating this illness as a simple «sprain».
