ABSTRACT

In traumatic cases of the wrist, ligament injuries are also serious problems encountered in addition to the bone structure. It is very important to know the complex anatomical structure, make the correct diagnosis and determine the treatment algorithm correctly. The wrist joint is a complex anatomical complex consisting of 20 joints with different mobility. Ligament structures are important in the stability of these joints. Evaluating post-traumatic ligament injuries and determining the right treatment option can often be quite challenging. Conservative and surgical treatment options can be selected according to the instability and degeneration status of the relevant joints. Our aim is to systematically examine wrist ligament injuries and determine the right treatment option.

Keywords: Ligaments; Wrist injuries; Joint instability
