This study aimed to compare the longitudinal stability of the intact forearm with a single-bundle and a double-bundle reconstruction of the central band of the interosseous membrane using digital image correlation with a three-dimensional camera system. Single and cyclic axial loading of eight fresh-frozen forearm specimens was carried out in the intact state, after creation of an Essex-Lopresti lesion, after a single-bundle and after a double-bundle reconstruction of the central band using a TightRope® (Arthrex GmbH, Munich, Germany) construct. Instability significantly increased after creation of an Essex-Lopresti lesion. The stability of intact specimens was similar to both reconstruction techniques. The results of this study suggest that TightRope® reconstruction of the central band restores longitudinal forearm stability. However, the single-bundle technique may be less reliable than double-bundle reconstruction. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Basic Science Study.
