Pdf Summary
The 2026 ASSH On Demand CME Webinar titled "Intercarpal Ligament Injuries: Secrets to Success," chaired by Drs. Michelle G. Carlson and Eric R. Wagner, offers comprehensive education on diagnosis and surgical treatment of scapholunate (SL) and lunotriquetral (LT) ligament injuries. These ligaments are critical for maintaining wrist stability and alignment; injuries can lead to progressive arthritis if untreated.<br /><br />The program, released January 26, 2026, with CME credit available through 2029, includes detailed presentations from international experts covering both open and arthroscopic techniques. Topics include diagnosis of ligament pathologies through clinical exams, imaging, and arthroscopy; technical pearls for open and arthroscopic SL and LT repairs; and advanced reconstruction methods.<br /><br />Key surgical insights include Dr. Eugene Ek’s preferred open SL repair technique using double-loaded suture anchors without K-wire fixation, emphasizing early motion and return to function—especially relevant for athletes. Dr. Sanjeev Kakar highlights arthroscopic SL repair with capsulodesis preserving important dorsal and volar structures to maintain motion and function. Dr. Spencer Chambers discusses arthroscopic SL reconstruction criteria, focusing on salvageable joints without arthritis and reducible deformities, while stressing patient selection and meticulous technique. Dr. Steven Shin reviews open SL reconstruction options and the challenges of failures, implant choices, and evolving concepts in stabilizing the complex. Dr. Wagner presents arthroscopic techniques for LT ligament repair and reconstruction with attention to grading injury severity and preserving joint mechanics. Dr. Ezequiel Zaidenberg addresses arthroscopic-assisted LT reconstruction.<br /><br />The webinar also includes case presentations and Q&A to enhance practical understanding. The content aims to equip practicing surgeons with a range of treatment options and technical tips for successful outcomes in SL and LT injuries, enhancing patient care via the latest surgical advances. The activity is ACCME accredited, providing 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 credits, and emphasizes conflict of interest transparency.
