    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distal_radius_fracture

    A distal radius fracture, also known as wrist fracture, is a break of the part of the radius bone which is close to the wrist. [1] Symptoms include pain, bruising, and rapid-onset swelling. [1] The ulna bone may also be broken. [1] In younger people, these fractures typically occur during sports or a motor vehicle collision. [2]

    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 other carpal bones and is spheroidal in form.

    [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).

  5. Barton's fracture - Wikipedia

    A Barton's fracture is a type of wrist injury where there is a broken bone associated with a dislocated bone in the wrist, typically occurring after falling on top of a bent wrist. [1] It is an intra-articular fracture of the distal radius with dislocation of the radiocarpal joint. [2]

  6. Wrist osteoarthritis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrist_osteoarthritis

    Total wrist arthrodesis is the standard surgical treatment for patients with stage IV wrist osteoarthritis. During this procedure the carpal bones are all fused together and are then fastened to the distal radius. [14] This procedure eliminates all wrist motion, but heavy labor is still possible. [19]

  7. Smith's fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith's_fracture

    A Smith's fracture, is a fracture of the distal radius. [1]Although it can also be caused by a direct blow to the dorsal forearm [2] or by a fall with the wrist flexed, the most common mechanism of injury for Smith's fracture occurs in a palmar fall with the wrist joint slightly dorsiflexed. [3]

  8. Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertrophic_osteoarthropathy

    People with hypertrophic osteoarthropathy may have bone scans showing parallel lines of activity along the cortex of the shafts and ends of tibiae, femurs and radii; especially around the knees, ankles and wrists. This activity may decrease after treatment of the underlying cause. [4]

    The management and treatment of SLAC wrist depends on the stage at the time of diagnosis. The options for management can be separated into two broad categories: non-surgical and surgical. Less advanced SLAC wrist may be managed initially with non-surgical options including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs , wrist splinting , and steroid ...
