The dart-throwing motion (DTM) plane can be defined as a plane in which wrist functional
oblique motion occurs, specifically from radial extension to ulnar flexion. Most activities of …

The purpose of this article is to review past and present concepts concerning functional
kinematics of the healthy and injured wrist. To provide a context for students of the wrist, we …

Background: Preliminary reports have indicated that selected scaphoid nonunions—ie,
those that are well aligned and without extensive sclerosis or bone resorption at the …

PURPOSE: To analyze ligament innervation and the structural composition of wrist
ligaments to investigate the potential differences in sensory and biomechanical functions …

From a kinetic point of view, the wrist is considered stable when it is capable of resisting load
without suffering injury. Several prerequisites are necessary for the wrist to be kinetically …

The purpose of this study was to analyze human wrist ligaments with regard to presence of
general innervation and mechanoreceptors. The ligaments studied were: dorsal radiocarpal …

Background: The human carpus is a complex joint system. Many problems that arise in the
wrist are the result of an alteration of intercarpal motion. Although the midcarpal joint is a …

Thirty cadaveric forearms were tested using a wrist testing apparatus specifically designed
to investigate the mechanisms of muscle stabilization of the wrist. The specimens were set in …

The peculiar shape of scaphoid hinders a precise evaluation of its fracture configuration,
displacement and accuracy of screw placement. Its tenuous vascular supply risks the …

Twenty-one patients with symptomatic scaphotrapeziotrapezoid osteoarthritis were treated
with partial distal scaphoid excision. In 12 wrists the joint defect was filled with either …
