...Andres Mena; Ronit Wollstein; James Yang This study presents a comprehensive finite element (FE) model for the human wrist, constructed from a CT scan of a 68-year-old male (type 1 wrist). This model intricately captures the bone and soft tissue geometries to study the biomechanics of wrist axial...

Intact specimens, however, demonstrated higher linear stiffness than reconstructed specimens, which suggests that the present reconstruction method may adversely affect wrist biomechanics during normal hand activities. Scapholunate ligament injury reconstruction remains an unsolved problem...
