Abstract

Wrist injuries are commonly encountered in both the amateur and professional sports communities. They can occur through a single traumatic event or from repetitive episodes leading to overuse injuries. As the wrist is a complex structure encompassing many bones, joints, and ligaments, early recognition and diagnosis of these injuries play a vital role in directing treatment and preserving wrist function. A sound understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics of the wrist is required for this. Specific injury patterns are also associated with specific sports activities and knowledge of this will enable the diagnostician to arrive at an accurate diagnosis. This chapter aims to review the patterns of injuries encountered in the wrist among the more popular and emerging sports, along with the biomechanics and pathophysiology of these injuries that help to explain the imaging findings.
