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…
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…
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…

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…
10.1055/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…
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…
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…
10.1055/b-0034-77595 9 Magnetic Resonance ImagingFellner, F., Schmitt, R. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is the method of choice for identifying diseases of the bone marrow, articular cartilage, synovium, ligaments, and other…
10.1055/b-0034-77606 14 The Growing Skeleton of the HandHorwitz, A., Schindler, G. With reference to statistical tables, current skeletal age and expected body height can be determined with sufficient accuracy from…
