Group 1 Comparison of Which Ligament Sectioning Produced Increased Scapholunate Gap

Wrist Motion	Statistical Comparison of Ligament Sectioning	Portion of Motion Affected
Wrist flexion-extension		All motion except extreme extension
	I ≠ C4
	C1 ≠ C4	Wrist flexion
	C2 ≠ C4	Wrist flexion
Wrist radial-ulnar deviation	I ≠ C4	Nearly all of wrist motion
	C1 ≠ C4	Nearly all of wrist motion
	C2 ≠ C4	Nearly all of wrist motion
	I ≠ C3	Wrist ulnar deviation
	C1 ≠ C3	Wrist ulnar deviation

I, intact specimen; C1, ST ligament cut; C2, ST and SLIL ligaments cut; C3, ST, SLIL, and RSC ligaments cut; C4, ST, SLIL, and RSC ligaments cut plus 1,000 cycles of motion; ≠, statistically different from each other.
