AbstractThe distal radioulnar joint, the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) and the wrist are stabilized by many ligaments allowing not only a wide range of motion but also providing sufficient stability. The complex arrangement of carpal ligaments and prosupination around the forearm joint enables multiaxial motion patterns. In the wrist, intra-articular ligaments can be differentiated from extra-articular capsular ligaments as well as intrinsic and extrinsic ligament courses. Imaging is essential for classification of dynamic and static instability patterns. This review article illustrates the ligamentous anatomy of the wrist, the symptoms of carpal instability as well as the diagnostic capability of projection radiography, cinematography, computed tomography (CT) arthrography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MR arthrography.
