Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to measure differences in distal radial-ulnar joint movement between injured and uninjured wrists using motion picture CT imaging (4DCT), with the hopes of establishing a less invasive diagnostic tool than arthroscopy.  The belief is that the precise location and characteristics of the injury can be determined by measuring joint spacing during wrist rotation.

The purpose of this study is to identify patient demographics, radiographic criteria, and surgical treatment options associated with improved outcomes following arthroscopic and open treatment of scapholunate instability. We hypothesize that arthroscopic capsulodesis will have equivalent or better patient reported functional outcomes compared to open techniques at our institution and described in the literature.
