    AbstractThe wrist and hand form a highly complex organ that is of great importance in almost all daily activities. The hand serves as a tool and an organ of sense. Injuries of the hand and wrist as well as mechanical, neurological or systemic inflammatory changes are common. Taking a detailed history can already lead to a diagnosis. Almost all structures of the hand are easily accessible for clinical examination, i. e. inspection, palpation and clinical tests, including dynamic testing. Diagnostic imaging completes the examination procedure.
