Scapholunate instability is a common form of carpal instability and Brunelli procedure has been advocated as a surgical intervention for this difficult problem. Twenty five patients with clinical and radiological diagnosis of scapholunate dissociation were included in the study. Mean age of the patients was 37 years. All the patients were treated by modified Brunelli procedure, with the flexor carpi radialis tendon being passed through a drill hole in scaphoid and sutured to radiotriquetral ligament. All patients had a wrist arthroscopy prior to the index procedure and associated injuries recorded. The average postoperative follow up for the patients was 60 months.INTRODUCTION
