Hand Clinics, 1992
The multiple joints within the wrist form a complex structure capable of transmitting significant loads to the upper extremity while providing a mobile base for the precision movements of the hand. This duality is accomplished through a fine interplay between the carpal bones and an arrangement of highly specific ligamentous structures, a system loaded
