Carpal stability is defined as the ability ofthe wrist to maintainstaticanddynamicbalanceofthejointsunder phys-iologicalloadsandmovements.Inturn,carpalinstabilityis thedisturbanceofthatbalanceassociatedwithboneand/or ligamentinjuries,resultinginfailuretomaintainthe articu-laranatomicalrelationshipsandresultinginbiomechanical performancedeficit,pain,andcarpalcollapse.3

Itisbelievedthatcarpalinstabilityismorecommonthan previouslythoughtandthatdegenerativediseaseistheend resultofundiagnosedinstability.2

Perilunate dislocations are uncommon and serious injuries;61%–65%ofthecasesareassociatedwithscaphoid

fractures, referred to as “major arch injuries;” these are outsidethescopeofthisarticle,whichaddressesonlypure ligamentinjuries(“minorarchinjuries”).4

The scapholunate (SL) and lunotriquetal (LT) ligaments arethemostimportant,responsibleforstabilizingthe prox-imal row. Theyfixatethe proximalmargin ofthe scaphoid to the lunate, and the proximal lunate to the pyramidal, respectively.3

Previousstudieshaveinvestigatedthedynamicandstatic aspectsofscapholunateinstability(definedasaradiographic increaseinspacebetweenthescaphoidandthelunate)and theconsequencesforthewrist.2

In addition, while spontaneous reductionsare possible, theymayunderestimatetheseverityofinjuryandligament damage.6

Three types of treatment have been described: closed reductionandcastimmobilization;closedreductionand per-cutaneousfixation,associatedwithimmobilization;and,open ligament and bone repair with fixation and postoperative immobilization. Currently, the results ofclosed reductions without fixation are unsatisfactory and do not allow the reestablishment ofthe capsuloligamentous apparatus and, therefore,carpalstability.5

Atotalof628medicalrecordsofpatientsdiagnosedwith trau-maticwristinjuriesduetoacutetrauma,operatedbythesame groupofhandsurgeonsbetween2008and2014,witha follow-upbetweenoneandsevenyearswereselected.Ofthese,51 werecasesofperilunatefracture-dislocations;38werepure perilunatedislocations,withoutassociatedfractures,andof these,only32hadbeentreatedwithpercutaneousfixation, withoutligamentrepair,meetinginclusioncriteria(Fig.1).

The 628 records were divided into three groups: wrist trauma (distal radius fractures, physeal injuries, and car-pometacarpal lesions), fracture-dislocations (trans styloid perilunatefractures,transcaphoid-perilunateand transcap-itate fractures, or combinations of these); and perilunate dislocationsorminorcarpalarchinjury.

Of the 38 patients withperilunate dislocations without associatedfracture,thosewhounderwentsurgeryafterover sevendaysofinjuryorwhounderwentcapsuloligamentrepair orreconstruction(includingthescapholunateligament)and patientsunder18yearsofageattimeofinjurywereexcluded fromthestudy;32casesremained.

The Jamar dynamometer is an instrument for manual grip strength validation, having been the most accepted instrument since1954,and is recommended bythe Amer-ican Society of Hand Therapists (ASHT) to measure grip strength in patients with various disorders that compro-mise theupperlimbs. Onearticleshowed the validityand
