Abstract

|
|
With the increase of participation in the sport activities, there has been a commensurate rise in the
number of sport injuries. A more commonly encountered injured region in the upper-extremity is the
wrist. Sport injuries are often characterized as overuse and traumatic. Traumatic injuries include fractures,
dislocations, and ligament tears often seen in contact or collision sports. Overuse injuries, represented
damages by a level of repetitive microtrauma sufficient to overwhelm the tissues°Ø ability to
adapt, include inflammatory conditions such as De Quervain°Øs disease, extensor carpi ulnaris tendinitis,
intersection syndrome. Also included is a traumatic problem such as stress fractures of the
hook of the hamate, subluxation of the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon, chronic scapholunate instabilities,
and degenerative triangular fibrocartilage tears. This review will focus on both overuse and traumatic
injuries of the wrist in the athletes. A significant emphasis will be placed on the evaluation,
pearls and pitfalls of conservative and operative treatments
