Radiological assessment consisted in measuring S-L angle and classifying radio-carpic and inter-carpic osteoarthritis. <em>Results</em>: At radiographic check-up the reduction of the dissociation remained within the normal range of S-L angle (30°-60°) in 5/6 patients (83%). Clinical results were satisfactory for all the patients due to complete absence of pain and a good recovery of wrist function with more than 80% of the force and mobility compared to the contralateral side<em> </em>for three patients, and a recovery of more than 60% of the force and mobility for another patient. Mean DASH score was 8. All the patients returned to their previous job after a mean time of 4 months. <em>Conclusions: </em>Cuenod modified by Saffar-Romano grafting technique can be considered a brilliant solution for chronic S-L dissociation where S-L ligaments are completely worn included cases of SLAC I wrist.</p>}, number={1 -S}, journal={Acta Biomedica Atenei Parmensis}, author={Marcuzzi, Augusto and Leigheb, Massimiliano}, year={2016}, month={Apr.}, pages={95–100} }
