Hand And Wrist Ligament Reconstruction
The hand includes numerous bones enunciating through very accurately shaped joints. These bones are held in distinct position relative to each other, even when subjected to compelling stress, by ligaments. These are strong bands of tough tissue which allow movement in some planes but restrict in others. Loss of ligaments probity leads to pain as the bones no longer fit or shift smoothly and, eventually, this leads to permanent extrude of the joint as the cartilage wears. Damage to these ligaments may be provoked by trauma, such as a fall on to the outstretched hand or some sports such as rugby or skiing. Ligaments may also be damaged by certain inflammatory conditions such as
rheumatoid arthritis and this too leads to instability.
