Attempts can be made to treat the deformity surgically by addressing the deforming bone and fibrous bands called "Vickers ligament". This is an abnormal ligament formed between the lunate bone of the wrist and the radius and is found in 91% of cases of Madelung's deformity. [citation needed]
Lister's tubercle is used as a useful landmark during wrist arthroscopy and other wrist surgery. [1] [5] It is palpable on the dorsum of the wrist. [1] It is often difficult to clearly distinguish with radiography. [1] Hyperextension of the wrist can lead to fracture of Lister's tubercle, as pressure is increased from the extensor pollicis ...
Carpometacarpal bossing (or metacarpal/carpal bossing) is a small, immovable mass of bone on the back of the wrist. The mass occurs in one of the joints between the carpus and metacarpus of the hand , called the carpometacarpal joints , where a small immovable protuberance [ 1 ] occurs when this joint becomes swollen or bossed.
An excessively long styloid process of the ulna can cause painful contact with the triquetral bone in the wrist, known as ulnar styloid impaction syndrome. [1] Radiology is used to diagnose it. [1] Conservative management involves injection of triamcinolone, while surgery involves shortening of the styloid process of the ulna via resection. [1]
The radial styloid process is found on the lateral surface of the distal radius bone. [1] It extends obliquely downward into a strong, conical projection. The tendon of the brachioradialis attaches at its base. [2] The radial collateral ligament of the wrist attaches at its apex.
[3] [1] [2] This joint is formed by the trapezium bone of the wrist and the metacarpal bone of the thumb. This is one of the joints where most humans develop osteoarthritis with age. [4] Osteoarthritis is age-related loss of the smooth surface of the bone where it moves against another bone (cartilage of the joint).
Osteophyte formation has classically been related to sequential and consequential changes in such processes. Often osteophytes form in osteoarthritic joints as a result of damage and wear from inflammation. Calcification and new bone formation can also occur in response to mechanical damage in joints. [5]
It is the last carpal bone to ossify. The pisiform bone is a small bone found in the proximal row of the wrist . It is situated where the ulna joins the wrist, within the tendon of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle. [1]: 199, 205 It only has one side that acts as a joint, articulating with the triquetral bone. It is on a plane anterior to the ...
