  2. Dorsal radiocarpal ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_radiocarpal_ligament

    The dorsal radiocarpal ligament (posterior ligament) is less thick and strong than its volar counterpart, and has a proximal attachment to the posterior border of the distal radius. Its fibers run medially and inferiorly to form a distal attachment at the dorsal surfaces of the scaphoid (navicular bone of the hand), lunate, and triquetral.

  3. Wrist arthroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrist_arthroscopy

    Wrist arthroscopy can be used to look inside the joint of the wrist. It is a minimally invasive technique which can be utilized for diagnostic purposes as well as for therapeutic interventions. Wrist arthroscopy has been used for diagnostic purposes since it was first introduced in 1979. However, it only became accepted as diagnostic tool ...

  4. Triangular fibrocartilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_fibrocartilage

    Dorsal rotation injury, such as when a drill binds and rotates the wrist instead of the bit, can also cause traumatic injuries. Injury may also occur from a distraction force applied to the volar forearm or wrist. Finally, tears of the TFCC are frequently found by patients with distal radius fractures. [7]

  5. Intercarpal joints - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercarpal_joints

    The joints of the proximal row are arthrodial joints, The scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum are connected by dorsal, volar, and interosseous ligaments. The dorsal intercarpal ligament are two in number and placed transversely behind the bones of the first row; they connect the scaphoid and lunate, and the lunate and triquetrum.

  6. Dorsal intercarpal ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_intercarpal_ligament

    The dorsal intercarpal ligament consists of a series of fibrous bands that extend transversely across the dorsal surfaces of the carpal bones, connecting them to each other. v t

  7. Dorsal intercalated segment instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_intercalated...

    The SL angle is an indicator of dorsal intercalated segment instability deformity (DISI). The SL angle goes between: [1] - A line through the long axis of the scaphoid bone. - A line perpendicular to the distal articular surface of the lunate bone.

  8. Barton's fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barton's_fracture

    The most common cause of this is a direct, traumatic wrist injury. 70% of Barton's fracture cases are caused by young male workers or motorcycle riders. However, decreased bone density caused by osteoporosis means that less force is required to cause this injury in the elderly, particularly women. As a result, most of these fractures are caused ...

  9. Smith's fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith's_fracture

    A Smith's fracture, is a fracture of the distal radius. [1]Although it can also be caused by a direct blow to the dorsal forearm [2] or by a fall with the wrist flexed, the most common mechanism of injury for Smith's fracture occurs in a palmar fall with the wrist joint slightly dorsiflexed. [3]
