Abstract
Partial SL ligament tears can be a source of radial-sided wrist pain. Scapholunate ligament debridement and thermal shrinkage effectively provided pain relief for most of the patients treated. Stability was maintained radiographically. No complications were noted from the use of radiofrequency probes. These reasonably favorable short-term results should be viewed cautiously. A longer follow-up study is necessary to determine the ultimate efficacy of this procedure.
