Traumatic wrist instability: what's in and what's out
1Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
Abstract:
Traumatic wrist instability encompasses a wide spectrum of injuries from the subtle partial ligament tear to the dramatic perilunate dislocation. A timely diagnosis is based on the patient's history and physical examination together with radiographic and advanced imaging studies. Early intervention has been associated with improved patient outcomes.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...

Ankle Joint
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...
