It has by now been established that carpal ligamentary lesions may lead 
to instability and ultimately to carpal arthritis. However, the variety 
of anatomopathological classifications and the multiplicity of surgical 
repair techniques reflect the difficulty of grasping this ligamentary 
pathology. Clinical analysis and traditional investigation techniques 
must successfully address the complexity of the wrist, which is largely 
due to the number of synchronized bones involved in every movement of 
the hand. The clinical analysis of the wrist is insufficient to 
precisely measure the mobility of each carpal bone, making paraclinical 
examinations also significant for clinical diagnosis. The tools 
available today range from X-rays to arthroscopy, including 
arthroCTscans and soon MRI. As for repair techniques, their diversity 
must not hide the fact that a biomechanical and physiological principle 
is involved and must be identified. This book presents the findings of 
an expert group in the field of wrist pathology. It seeks to analyze, 
understand, explain and make comprehensible, if not obvious, the 
reflections that each practitioner should employ during the diagnosis 
and treatment of carpal ligamentary lesions. The focus is consciously
not on degenerative carpal pathology, which usually enjoys more 
visibility. We hope that readers will benefit from the fact that 
fragmented pieces of knowledge are gathered in a single work, that they 
will find in this initial synthesis an inspiration to rethink a
difficult and sometimes thankless surgery and to further the surgical 
advances of the 21st century.
