Abstract

Carpal ligaments are commonly injured and may lead to pain and disability. These ligaments are very difficult to repair, and the results are unpredictable; as a result, treatment options abound. A novel approach is presented here using a polyester suture, aiming to substitute these ligaments' function, rather than to repair them.Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
