Excerpt

“The wrist is the key joint of the hand” (Bunnell) [1] and represents together with the forearm an inseparable anatomical and biomechanical unit. The wrist as an executive part of the body, enables optimal positioning of “the hand” to allow the grasping function. Consequently, the distal radius and ulna form the distal radioulnar as well as the radiocarpal joint and both are important to carry out daily activities. …
