Pathophysiology of Wrist and Hand Injuries in Tennis Players: Tendons, Ligaments and TFCC LesionsThe final, crucial link in the kinetic chain between the body and racket is the wrist and hand, a complex structure that executes several roles essential to the production of all tennis strokes. ...
The wrist is one of the most complex of all the joints in the body. It’s made up of eight small bones, many connecting ligaments and tendons, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. Articular cartilage covers the ends of the bones, ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive imaging method that offers remarkable information in assessing both the osseous and the soft tissue structures of the wrist. The ligaments, tendons, nerves, muscles, and cartilage can be resolveddue to the high spatial and contrast resolution of th...
Optimal magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the wrist requires a high field strength magnet and a dedicated wrist coil to achieve high-resolution images. Using current MR sequences, detailed images of articular cartilage and the supporting ligaments and tendons can be obtained. Evaluation of the tri...
@ysmina-- I think most of us don't realize how harsh repetitive movements can be on our ligaments and tendons. But it's a real risk, especially if you have to do the same type of movement day after day. That's why many typists develop carpal tunnel syndrome. ...
