The human wrist is a highly complex joint, offering extensive motion across various planes. This study investigates scapholunate ligament (SLL) injuries’ impact on wrist stability and arthritis risks using cadaveric experiments and the finite element (FE) method. It aims to validate experimental findings with FE analysis results. The study utilized eight wrist specimens on a custom rig to investigate Scapho-Lunate dissociation. Contact pressure and flexion were measured using sensors. A CT-based 3D geometry reconstruction approach was used to create the geometries needed for the FE analysis. The study used the Friedman test with pairwise comparisons to assess if differences between testing conditions were statistically significant.Introduction
