Distal radius fractures typically occur with the wrist bent back from 60 to 90 degrees. [5] Radial styloid fracture would occur if the wrist is ulnar deviated and vice versa. If the wrist is bent back less, then proximal forearm fracture would occur, but if the bending back is more, then the carpal bones fracture would occur.
A scaphoid fracture is a break of the scaphoid bone in the wrist. [1] Symptoms generally includes pain at the base of the thumb which is worse with use of the hand. [2] The anatomic snuffbox is generally tender and swelling may occur. [2]
It is breakdown of the lunate bone, a carpal bone in the wrist that articulates with the radius in the forearm. Specifically, Kienböck's disease is another name for avascular necrosis [2] (death and fracture of bone tissue due to interruption of blood supply) with fragmentation and collapse of the lunate. This has classically been attributed ...
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 ...
Bennett fracture is a type of partial broken finger involving the base of the thumb, and extends into the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. [ 1 ] Treatment typically requires surgery.
The scaphoid bone is one of the carpal bones of the wrist. It is situated between the hand and forearm on the thumb side of the wrist (also called the lateral or radial side). It forms the radial border of the carpal tunnel. The scaphoid bone is the largest bone of the proximal row of wrist bones, its long axis being from above downward ...
