Carpal dislocations: pathomechanics and progressive perilunar instability.

TL;DR: The pathomechanics, ligamentous damage, and degree of carpal instability in perilunate and lunate dislocations were analyzed by experimentally loading 32 cadaver wrists to failure and stress roentgenograms employing longitudinal carpal compression in radial and ulnar deviation were helpful in determining the degree of associated carpal stability.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ligaments of the wrist.

TL;DR: The ligaments of the wrist were studied by dissecting ten fixed and seven fresh frozen wrists and suggest that certain patients with a generalized ligamentous laxity and weakness will develop a pathological disruption of the volar ligaments with trauma.

Distal radioulnar joint arthroplasty: The hemiresection-interposition technique

TL;DR: The hemiresection-interposition technique for distal radioulnar joint arthroplasty was developed from anatomic studies that indicated the importance of preserving the functional elements of the ulnocarpal ligament complex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinematics of the wrist.

TL;DR: The wrist functions both kinetically by transmitting forces from the hand to the forearm and vice versu, and kinematically by allowing for changes in the location and orientation of the hand relative to the arm.

TL;DR: It appears that disc perforation is degenerative and age-related: thus there were no perforations in the first two decades of life; in the third there were 7.6%, in the fourth 18.1, in the fifth 40.0%, inThe sixth 42.8%, and in the over sixties 53.1%.

The hominoid wrist joint.

TL;DR: There is convincing evidence in favour of the view that a period of brachiation provided the essential apprenticeship for the complex locomotor activities of bipedal, tool-using man.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary change in the primate wrist and inferior radio-ulnar joints.

TL;DR: It is shown that the original lower articular extremity of the ulna recedes from its primitive articulation with the triquetral and pisiform to become the ulnar styloid process, while a neomorphic ulnar head is elaborated entering into a new synovial inferior radio‐ulnar joint.
