There is a lack of a generally agreed analysis of carpal instability that can assist in the
diagnosis, give guidelines for treatment, and ensure unity when reporting results of …

When the wrist is grasping an object, at least four mechanisms of carpal stabilization are
involved-one for each carpal row (proximal and distal), one for the midcarpal joint, and one …

PERILUNATE DISLOCATIONS AND perilunate fracture–dislocations (PLD-PLFDs) and axial
carpal dislocations and axial carpal fracture–dislocations (ACD-ACFDs) belong to the carpal …

A detailed and comprehensive study of the anatomy of the 2nd through 5th carpometacarpal
(CMC) joints and adjacent structures and clinical relevance is reported. Multiple dorsal …

Twenty-nine patients with hamate fractures were treated. The two main types of hamate
fractures are hook fractures (type 1) and body fractures (type 2). We sub-divided type 2 …

During a 9-year period, we treated 13 patients with major fractures of bones of the distal
carpal row creating instability of the corresponding carpometacarpal joints. Diagnosis of the …

This review addresses the pathoanatomical basics as well as the clinical and radiological
presentation of instability patterns of the wrist. Carpal instability mostly follows an injury; …

Carpal instability is a complex array of maladaptive and post-traumatic conditions that leads
to the inability of the wrist to maintain anatomic relationships under normal loads. Many …

Carpal dislocations are rare injuries. They most often occur from high-energy trauma such
as motor vehicle accidents, falls from a height, or industrial-related accidents. Usually …
