The postoperative range of motion (ROM), grip strength, complications, and secondary surgery (e.g., four-corner fusion or total wrist fusion), and radiographic changes were reported. Disabilities of arm, shoulder, and hand\/patient-rated wrist evaluation (DASH\/PRWE) scores were prospectively collected. Patients were stratified by static versus dynamic\/predynamic SL diastasis and by isolated volar versus volar and dorsal ligament injury.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Twenty-eight patients (15 females and 13 males) with a mean age of 35.1 years (\u00b1\u200915.7) met the inclusion criteria. The follow-up was 86.3 months (\u00b1\u200953.4; minimum 11 months). Most (26\/28) patients were right-handed. The majority (20\/28) of the patients presented \u2265 6 weeks postinjury. Few (4\/28) used tobacco. Most (20\/28) patients had dynamic\/predynamic injuries. Postoperatively, the mean pronation\/supination was 83\u2009degrees\/83\u2009degrees, flexion\/extension was 56\u2009degrees\/61\u2009degrees, ulnar deviation was 30\u2009degrees, and radial deviation (RD) was 19\u2009degrees (n\u2009=\u200913). The mean grip strength was 78.8% (\u00b1\u200930.4) of the contralateral normal side (n\u2009=\u200914). Except for increased RD in patients with dynamic\/predynamic injuries (p\u2009=\u20090.02), there were no other ROM differences. SL widening (&gt;3\u2009mm) postoperatively was observed in 33.3% (2\/6) of static versus none of the dynamic\/predynamic injuries (p\u2009=\u20090.165). There were only two postoperative complications, both surgical site infections. Two patients had persistent pain and required secondary surgery at a median of 48 months. At 86.9 months, patients reported a mean DASH of 16.4 (\u00b1\u200917.8) and a PRWE of 24.6 (\u00b1\u200923.6), and 78.9% (15\/19) returned to prior work.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>We report long-term functional outcomes after a volar capsulodesis for volar SL injuries. This appears to be a safe procedure with an acceptable complication rate and low disability after 7 years. Most (approximately 79%) patients returned to their previous employment. A larger comparative study will be required to prove superiority to other types of repairs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Level IV, Case
