Ulnar-sided wrist pain in the athlete

Nicholas E Crosby et al. Clin Sports Med. 2015 Jan.

Abstract

The athlete's wrist, especially those using bats, sticks, racquets, or clubs, is subjected to extremely high torque loads during athletic activities. These loads stress the stabilizing elements of the ulnocarpal and distal radioulnar complexes. Lesions of these regions can lead to painful dysfunction and instabilities that negatively impact athletic performance. This article reviews some of the common ulnar-sided maladies focusing on anatomy, biomechanics, diagnosis, and treatment.
