AI Article Synopsis

  • All perilunate fracture-dislocations involve a mix of ligament ruptures, bone avulsions, and various fractures.
  • The two main ways these injuries occur are through direct impact or indirect mechanisms, with the latter often resulting from excessive wrist extension and arm rotation.
  • Factors that influence the type of injury include a person's age, the direction and strength of the forces applied, and the wrist position at the moment of injury.

Article Abstract

All perilunate fracture-dislocations combine ligament ruptures, bone avulsions, and fractures in a variety of clinical forms. Two mechanisms of the injury may result in a carpal dislocation: direct and indirect. Most dorsal perilunate dislocations are the result of an indirect mechanism of injury, usually consisting of an extreme extension of the wrist joint, associated with variable degree ulnar deviation and radiocarpal or midcarpal supination. Many factors may explain the occurrence of one or another type of injury: age, differences in direction and magnitude of the deforming forces, and differences in position of the wrist joint at the time of impact.

Introduction: Expression is a key aspect of music performance. Studies on pianists' gestures and expression have mainly documented the impact of their expressive intentions on proximal segments and head linear kinematics. It remains unclear how pianists' expressive intentions influence joint angular kinematics as well as exposure to risk factors of injury, such as poor overall posture and distal jerky movements, two kinematic factors linked to injury.

Wrist arthroscopy presents a significant learning curve, necessitating various precautions to avoid complications like tendon laceration or nerve injury. Arthroscopic procedures become even more challenging in arthritic wrists due to altered anatomy and reduced joint space, which in turn increase the risk of complications. In this review article, we offer tips and tricks to minimize these risks.

Recent advances in small-joint arthroscopy and cutting-edge magnetic resonance imaging systems have enabled orthopedic surgeons to perform more complex repairs of the wrist. Such repairs can include those of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) of the wrist that necessitates a reappraisal of its morphometry with special emphasis on the relationship between its articular disc (AD) and surrounding tissues. The TFCC AD is a fibrocartilaginous, biconcave structure located between the ulnar styloid process and the carpal bones of the wrist.
