Wrist ligaments
overview
Wrist ligaments are connective tissues that
support the complex structure of the wrist,
connecting the bones and providing stability.
They control wrist movement, enabling
flexibility and strength during various
activities.
• Common wrist ligament injuries include sprains,
tears, and rupture, often resulting from falls,
overuse, or trauma. Symptoms include pain,
swelling, and decreased motion, necessitating
proper diagnosis and treatment.
Common injuries
• Wrist ligaments play crucial roles in stabilizing
the wrist joint, maintaining proper alignment of
bones, and facilitating a range of motion. They
absorb forces during activities, helping to
prevent injuries.

Surgery
02
• Surgery may be indicated for severe ligament
injuries such as complete tears, when
conservative treatments fail, or in cases of
instability that impair function. Evaluation by a
specialist is critical to determine the need for
surgical intervention.
Indications for
surgery
• Common techniques for wrist ligament
reconstruction include arthroscopic repair, open
surgery, and grafting methods. These
approaches aim to restore the integrity of the
ligament, enhance stability, and promote
healing.

Post-operative care
Post-operative care is essential for recovery,
involving pain management, physical
therapy, and gradual rehabilitation. Patients
must follow a tailored recovery plan to
restore function and strength.
Conclusions
Understanding wrist ligament anatomy, the
implications of injuries, and the approaches
to surgical intervention is vital for effective
treatment and recovery, ensuring optimal
wrist function.
