  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • The wrist is a highly complex anatomical structure.
  • Wrist injuries are prevalent, frequently misdiagnosed as general sprains.
  • Accurate diagnosis is often hindered by a lack of understanding of wrist biomechanics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the importance of functional wrist anatomy and mechanics.
  • To review the diagnostic methods for wrist injuries.
  • To highlight the spectrum of potential wrist injuries beyond simple sprains.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on wrist anatomy and biomechanics.
  • Analysis of diagnostic approaches for wrist ligamentous injuries.
  • Synthesis of information on the detection and classification of wrist injuries.
