Clinical Anatomy of the Wrist: Module 4

In this lecture on the clinical anatomy of the wrist, participants will delve into the intricate structure and function of the wrist joint, exploring its complex anatomy and biomechanical properties. The session will cover the various bones that comprise the wrist, including the carpal bones and their articulations, as well as the associated ligaments, tendons, and muscles that contribute to wrist movement and stability. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the anatomical relationships between these structures and their clinical relevance, particularly in the context of common wrist injuries and conditions. Through a combination of detailed anatomical diagrams, hands-on palpation techniques, and case studies, participants will enhance their ability to identify key anatomical landmarks and apply this knowledge in clinical practice. By the end of the lecture, attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of wrist anatomy that will aid in the assessment, diagnosis, and management of wrist-related issues in patients.
