Complex injuries of the wrist are commonly the result of high impact injuries, such as high-speed recreational activities. Proper recognition of the potential complexity of these injuries is an important first step towards initiating appropriate treatment. Functional recovery results of patients with even devastating injuries to the wrist have consistently improved over the last two decades. Dr. Huang, Chief of the Upper Extremity Center at Roosevelt, and Dr. Friedrich are well known and highly regarded hand specialists who provide a valuable overview of the most pertinent injuries to the wrist and the state of the art treatment.
