Abstract:
Scapholunate interosseal ligament tears manifested with pain, a popping, weakness of the wrist, or limited wrist motion, are probably the most frequent cause of carpal instability. Insufficiency of the injured scapholunate ligament results in pathologic scaphoid and lunate position with wrist kinematics changes that cause irreversible degenerative arthrotic changes. The timely diagnosis combined with proper treatment is required for successful therapy and carpal collapse prevention.

01:15Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna
The ulna and radius are parallel bones of the antebrachium or the forearm. The ulna lies medially and consists of a bony tip called the olecranon process at its proximal end. This hook-like projection articulates with the olecranon fossa of the humerus and forms the "hinged" ulnohumeral part of the elbow joint. This joint facilitates forearm extension and flexion while preventing its hyperextension. Similarly, the coronoid process, another bony projection on the proximal/anterior side of the...
01:09Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius
The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.
