Abstract
Basic wrist anatomy will be reviewed as a basis for understanding injuries that lead to arthritis. Common injuries causing predictable patterns of degenerative changes at the radio- and ulnocarpal, intercarpal, and distal radioulnar joints are discussed. Included are specific patterns of collapse such as scapholunate advanced collapse (SLAC) and scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse (SNAC). Established and controversial treatment options for each pattern of degeneration will be briefly reviewed.
