TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Common wrist injuries JO - American family physician A1 - Morgan, R. L. A1 - Linder, M. M. SP - 857 EP - 868 VL - 55 IS - 3 N2 - Patients with wrist injuries often present to primary care physicians. Many times, mild clinical injury involves significant damage to carpal bones and soft tissue elements. The long-term outcome of these injuries depends on prompt diagnosis and appropriate therapy. Familiarity with the functional anatomy and physical examination of the wrist, accompanied by radiologic evaluation, may aid the physician in differentiating simple sprains from potentially debilitating wrist injuries.
