19 Fractures of the Scaphoid
10.1055/b-0034-77616 19 Fractures of the ScaphoidSchmitt, R., Krimmer, H., Spitz, J. Fractures of the scaphoid are often not detected radio-graphically on the day of the accident and, therefore, requires particularly…

22 Carpal Dislocations and Fracture-Dislocations
10.1055/b-0034-77622 22 Carpal Dislocations and Fracture-DislocationsStaebler, A., Schmitt, R., Krimmer, H. Carpal dislocations can involve one or more carpal bones and are often combined with fractures. They are classified as…
25 Metacarpal Fractures
10.1055/b-0034-77628 25 Metacarpal FracturesKrimmer, H. Schindler, G. Most metacarpal fractures can be adequately identified with radiographs in two planes. Further diagnostic imaging with high-resolution CT is only necessary for dislocated…
24 Carpometacarpal Dislocations and Fracture-Dislocations
10.1055/b-0034-77625 24 Carpometacarpal Dislocations and Fracture-DislocationsSchmitt, R., Hahn, P. Carpometacarpal (CMC) dislocations and fracture-dislocations affect one or several joints, the little finger and dorsal dislocations being most involved. Extensive ligament…
20 Scaphoid Nonunion
10.1055/b-0034-77618 20 Scaphoid NonunionSchmitt, R., Krimmer, H. The natural course of scaphoid nonunion is mainly determined by the parameters of fracture location, fragment dislocation, and osseous blood supply. Bony resorption…
16 Malformations and Deformities
10.1055/b-0034-77610 16 Malformations and Deformitiesvan Schoonhoven, J., Schmitt, R., Horwitz, A.E, Rosenthal, H., Lanz, U. Anomalies of the skeleton and soft tissues of the hand can be caused by congenital…
15 Normal Variants of the Skeleton and the Soft Tissues of the Hand
10.1055/b-0034-77608 15 Normal Variants of the Skeleton and the Soft Tissues of the HandSchmitt, R., Schindler, G. Nonpathologic variants of the skeleton of the hand include accessory sesamoid bones, coalescences…
10 Carpal Ligaments
10.1055/b-0034-77597 10 Carpal LigamentsSchmitt, R. The carpal ligaments guarantee stability of the carpal joints while allowing considerable freedom of movement in these joints of complex construction. The interosseous and extrinsic…
13 Postsurgical Radiography
10.1055/b-0034-77604 13 Postsurgical RadiographyKrimmer, H., Hahn, P., Schmitt, R. Postsurgical radiography both documents and evaluates the surgical procedure performed. Following reconstructive procedures, restitution of form, fracture stabilization, the correct alignment…
12 Carpal Morphometry and Function
10.1055/b-0034-77601 12 Carpal Morphometry and FunctionSchmitt, R., Prommersberger, K. J. Anatomically, the carpus represents a complex mosaic of skeletal elements with a multitude of joint surfaces. Functionally, not only sufficient…
