Frayed Ulno-Triquetral and Ulno-Lunate Ligaments as an Arthroscopic Sign of Longstanding Triquetro-Lunate Ligament RuptureFrom the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University Hospital Pellenberg, K. U. Leuven, Belgium Correspondence: L. De Smet, Afdeling Orthopedie, U.Z. Pellenberg, Weligerveld 1, B-3212 Pellenberg, Belgium. In patients with chronic wrist pain of more than 6 months duration, arthroscopy may reveal fraying of the ulno-triquetral and ulno-lunate ligaments. This can be a sign of longstanding triquetro-lunate dissociation. We present a prospective study in which frayed ulno-triquetral (UT) and ulno-lunate (UL) ligaments were sought on wrist arthroscopy and correlated with longstanding triquetro-lunate (TL) rupture.
