Abstract:
The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ), the ulnocarpal joint and the ulnar carpus form an functional anatomical complex, as the head of the ulna is an articulated part of DRUJ as well as having a stabilising action and acting as an abutment due to its direct attachment to the triangular fibrocartilage complex. Pain in this area poses a diagnostic problem due to the close proximity of these structures. In addition to describing the standard clinical examination, the major pathologies of these ulnar hand components, their symptomatology and the basis of their therapy are discussed.

The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi radialis,...
Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
