Police Officer Discharged After Scapholunate Ligament Tear

Description

In this medical consultation, Dr. Alejandro Badia discusses the findings from a patient's MRI, revealing issues with the proximal row of carp bones. The patient previously experienced discomfort and was unaware of the underlying problem until the MRI provided clarity. Dr. Badia explains the surgical intervention he performed, noting that he had to create an open incision rather than relying solely on arthroscopy, which he typically employs for wrist surgeries.



He emphasizes the importance of the scaphoid and lunate bones moving together, which explains the severity of the patient's condition. After the procedure, the patient reports feeling excellent, and Dr. Badia assures that the results are very promising. The conversation wraps up with a positive tone, accompanied by music that signifies the end of the video.
