the radiocarpal joint
A splint was fitted on the wrist to eliminate any rotations of the radiocarpal joint.
There are many surgical treatments of the condition, but most of these only improve the alignment and function of the radiocarpal joint.
Irregularity may result in radiocarpal arthritis, pain, and stiffness.
The capsule is continuous with the midcarpal joint and strengthened by numerous ligaments, including the palmar and dorsal radiocarpal ligaments, and the ulnar and radial collateral ligaments.
The radiocarpal joint or wrist joint is an ellipsoid joint formed by the radius and the articular disc proximally and the proximal row of carpal bones distally.
