    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study classifies carpal instability into three types: lateral, medial, and proximal. It details the specific joint interactions and common presentations for each category of wrist instability.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Anatomy
    • Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Carpal instability is a complex condition affecting wrist function.
    • Existing classifications may not fully capture the nuances of carpal joint mechanics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel classification of carpal instability.
    • To categorize instability based on anatomical and kinematic features of the wrist.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of anatomical relationships within the carpus.
    • Analysis of kinematic data to understand wrist joint motion and dysfunction.
    • Categorization of instability based on affected carpal bones and joint levels.

    Main Results:

    • Three primary categories of carpal instability are identified: lateral, medial, and proximal.

  • Lateral carpal instability involves the scaphoid with adjacent carpal bones (trapezium-trapezoid, capitate, lunate), with scapholunate dissociation being common.
  • Medial carpal instability occurs between the triquetrum and lunate (static) or triquetrum and hamate (dynamic). Proximal instability affects the radiocarpal or midcarpal joints.

    • Conclusions:

    • The proposed classification provides a structured framework for understanding carpal instability.
    • Differentiating instability types based on anatomical and kinematic properties aids in diagnosis and treatment planning.
    • This classification highlights the intricate biomechanics of the wrist and the potential sites of carpal disruption.
