The wrist is by far the most differentiated section of the musculoskeletal system. The spectrum of wrist injuries ranges from minor injuries to complex traumas with simultaneous loss of functions, resulting in enormous economic costs.

2024年11月19日 · It consists of 8 carpal bones, multiple joints, and various supporting ligaments, as well as the distal bones of the forearm and the proximal portion of the 5 metacarpal bones of the hand. The wrist is crucial for the functioning of the upper limb, and it provides stability while positioning the hand for intricate motions.

We are now fortunate to have advanced imaging techniques to assess and diagnose the pathology of this complicated anatomic structure. The purpose of the article is to provide insight into the various imaging modalities as they relate to imaging of the wrist in diagnosing pain and dysfunction from different types of pathology. [6]

2025年3月11日 · The wrist is a complex joint that bridges the hand to the forearm. It is actually a collection of multiple bones and joints. The bones comprising the wrist include the distal ends of the radius...

2016年12月5日 · • Identify the bones and primary bony features relevant to the wrist complex. • Describe the supporting structures of the wrist. • Cite the normal ranges of motion for wrist flexion and extension and radial and ulnar deviation. • Describe the planes of motion and axes of rotation for the joints of the wrist.

2023年6月5日 · The wrist is a complex joint that serves as the link between the forearm and hand, and it is critical for many upper extremity movements. An understanding of wrist anatomy allows for appreciation of the biomechanics of wrist movement, which helps the clinician to understand injury patterns, perform an efficient history and physical examination ...

2024年10月2日 · On this module on the anatomy of the wrist in 3T MRI, we labeled over 340 anatomical structures in 208 MR images of the wrist and 3D reconstructions of the carpal bones. Figure 1 - Anatomy of the wrist (MR) : Carpal tunnel - Ulnar canal.

2024年3月30日 · Overview of Wrist Anatomy. The wrist joint, or the radiocarpal joint, is a crucial connection between the forearm and hand. It allows various movements like bending, straightening, side-to-side, and twisting. This joint is like a modified ball and socket, allowing flexibility while maintaining stability.

2016年1月10日 · Each examination of the wrist should include a coronal section. It provides a survey image of the bone marrow of all carpal bones and, at the same time, visualizes the distal forearm and the metacarpal bones.

2024年12月31日 · The wrist is a complex synovial joint formed by articulations of the radius, the articular disc of the distal radioulnar joint and the carpal bones. Somewhat confusingly, the term carpus can be used as a synonym for the wrist joint as a whole, or in a more restricted sense to refer to the eight bones of the wrist (cf. tarsus).
