Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of distal radius fracture malunion on wrist joint mechanics
David J. Pogue,Steven F. Viegas,Rita M. Patterson,Pamela D. Peterson,David K. Jenkins,Timothy D. Sweo,James A. Hokanson +6 more
TL;DR: An experimental model using a static positioning frame, pressure-sensitive film, and a microcomputer-based videodigitizing system was used to measure contact areas and pressures in the wrist.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wrist anatomy: Incidence, distribution, and correlation of anatomic variations, tears, and arthrosis
TL;DR: Analysis of the incidence and distribution of anatomic features, arthrosis, chondromalacia, and soft tissue lesions in 393 wrists found a significant correlation between the existence of cartilage erosion at the proximal pole of the hamate and the presence of a lunate facet.
Journal ArticleDOI
The dorsal ligaments of the wrist: anatomy, mechanical properties, and function.
TL;DR: The DRC-DIC ligaments' lateral V configuration allows normal carpal kinematics while maintaining its indirect dorsal stabilizing effect on the scaphoid throughout the range of motion of the wrist.
Journal ArticleDOI
Medial (hamate) facet of the lunate
TL;DR: This type II lunate, with the high incidence of associated hamate pathology, may be an unidentified cause of wrist pain on the ulnar side.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of different distal radius dorsal and volar fracture fixation plates: a biomechanical study.
TL;DR: The SCS/V plate fixation system is the most rigid of the systems tested and may offer adequate stability for the treatment of the distal radius fracture in which the anterior and/or posterior metaphyseal cortex is comminuted severely.
