Simple low-grade injuries to the ligament can be treated with an episode of splinting followed by rehabilitation supervised by a hand therapist.

An acute repair involves surgical re-attachment of the ligament back to the bone using bone sutures.

Reconstruction of the ligament may be required for a delayed or late repair. New ligaments are often reconstructed using another tendon (graft) from the wrist which occasionally require a temporary wire to help stabilise the joint.
