Biomechanical Evaluation of the Ligamentous Stabilizers of the Scaphoid and Lunate: Part III PDF Print E-mail
Journal of Hand Surgery
Walter H. Short MD, et al. - Conclusions: Based on these findings, we concluded that the scapholunate interosseous ligament is the primary stabilizer and that the other ligaments are secondary stabilizers of the scapholunate articulation.
