(c) DICL flap dissection (blue dotted line) from the radiocarpal- capsule flap (red dotted line). (d) Suture of the DICL flap (dorsal capsulodesis) to the lunate with a suture anchor. (e) Coverage of capsulodesis (blue dotted line) with the remnant radiocarpal capsule (red dotted line), in which particular attention is paid to suturing it at the ulnar border (red arrow). (f) Complete suture of the radiocarpal dorsal capsule (red dotted line).
