    Carpal instabilities often stem from hyperextension injuries, disrupting wrist bone alignment and causing pain. Understanding the specific ligament damage is key to explaining carpal deformities and instability.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Biomechanics
    • Hand Surgery

    Background:

    • Carpal instabilities commonly arise from hyperextension injuries.
    • Deformities result from internal forces and the extent of structural disruption.
    • Specific carpal bone movements (scaphoid palmar flexion, lunotriquetral/scapholunate disruption) dictate deformity patterns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the biomechanical mechanisms underlying carpal instabilities.
    • To correlate specific ligamentous injuries with resulting carpal deformities.
    • To understand the relationship between carpal instability and associated symptoms.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of anatomical structures involved in carpal stability.
    • Analysis of biomechanical forces acting on the carpus during injury.

  • Correlation of ligamentous integrity with observed carpal bone kinematics.

    • Main Results:

    • Hyperextension injuries are the primary cause of carpal instabilities.
    • Disruption of the lunotriquetral or scapholunate ligaments leads to specific carpal bone movements.
    • Volary (palmar) radiolunate ligament integrity is crucial for preventing ulnar carpal translation.

    Conclusions:

    • Carpal instabilities are complex biomechanical issues resulting from specific ligamentous disruptions.
    • Understanding these mechanisms is essential for diagnosing and managing carpal instability.
    • Instability invariably leads to weakness, limited motion, and pain in the wrist.
