Current concepts about carpal traumatology

Carpal traumatology focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of injuries affecting the wrist and the surrounding structures. The wrist plays a pivotal role in hand function, making it susceptible to a wide range of traumatic injuries. Injuries to the carpal region can result from various causes, including sports accidents, workplace incidents, and falls. These injuries often manifest as fractures, dislocations, ligament tears, or soft tissue damage. Treatment strategies in carpal traumatology have evolved significantly over the years, encompassing conservative ap-proaches like immobilization and physical therapy, as well as surgical interventions when necessary. Advances in minimally invasive techniques and arthroscopy have enhanced the precision and efficacy of surgical procedures, leading to improved outcomes and shorter recovery times.
