Carpal kinematics have been previously limited to in vitro models with cadaveric specimens. Using a newly developed markerless bone registration algorithm, we noninvasively studied the in vivo kinematics of the capitate, scaphoid, and lunate during wrist extension and flexion in both wrists of 5 men and 5 women. Computed tomography volume images were acquired in neutral and in 2 positions in both extension and flexion. The 3-dimensional kinematics of the capitate, scaphoid, and lunate relative…

In vivo kinematics of the scaphoid, lunate, capitate, and third metacarpal in extreme wrist flexion and extension.
In VivoKinematics of the Scaphoid, Lunate, Capitate, and Third Metacarpal in ExtremeWrist Flexion and Extension
TLDR
The difference in kinematics of the carpus at the extremes of wrist motion is highlighted, and insight is given into the possible etiologies of the scaphoid fractures, interosseous ligament injuries, and carpometacarpal bossing.
Kinematics of the midcarpal and radiocarpal joint in flexion and extension: an in vitro study.
Biomechanical Evaluation of Carpal Kinematics during Simulated Wrist Motion
TLDR
The scaphoid and lunate contributed at a greater degree during flexion, suggesting that the radiocarpal joint plays a more critical role in wrist flexion.
In vivo elongation of the palmar and dorsal scapholunate interosseous ligament.
Kinematics of the midcarpal and radiocarpal joints in radioulnar deviation: an in vitro study.
Scaphoid kinematics in vivo.
TLDR
It is suggested that current theories cannot sufficiently explain wrist kinematics and the need for more in vivo studies on 3-D carpal kinematic studies is stressed.
Interfragmentary motion in patients with scaphoid nonunion.
Scaphoid and lunate movement in different ranges of carpal radioulnar deviation.
Scaphoid kinematics before and after scaphotrapeziotrapezoidal ligament section. Assessment by radiostereometric analysis and computed tomography in a cadaver study
TLDR
In computed tomography reconstructions, the ligament section appeared as a 1 to 2 mm gap in the scaphotrapeziotrapezoidal corner, with loss of articulation between the distal scaphoids pole and the trapezoid bone and increased scaphoid flexion.

Study of wrist motion in flexion and extension.
TLDR
A radiographic investigation of the wrist motion in flexion and extension was undertaken in 55 normal wrists to determine the contribution of the radio--carpal and mid carpal joints.
The effects of wrist distraction on carpal kinematics.
TLDR
Results suggest that different degrees of tension exist in the palmar and dorsal ligaments with the wrist under traction and during different planes of wrist motion, and the dart-throwers motion appears to have the least impact on radiocarpal motion.

TLDR
The combination of expermentally and simultaneously determined data on length change and on the movements of carpal bones are found to be necessary in order to give suitable explanations for the observed separate kinematical phenomena.
