The human wrist is a composite joint which incorporates multiple smaller joints. The biomechanics of the wrist are dependent on its bony structure but also on the ligamentous constitution of its joints. This increases the complexity of the joint and reduces our ability to understand its anatomy, mechanics and pathology. Therefore, our understanding and treatment of osteoarthritis in the wrist lags behind that of other joints in the body such as the knee. We discuss some of the recent directions in the comprehension and treatment of wrist osteoarthritis.
人类手腕是一个包含多个较小关节的复合关节。手腕的生物力学不仅取决于其骨骼结构，还取决于其关节的韧带构成。这增加了关节的复杂性，降低了我们理解其解剖结构、力学和病理学的能力。因此，我们对手腕骨关节炎的理解和治疗落后于身体其他关节，如膝盖。我们讨论了手腕骨关节炎理解和治疗方面的一些最新进展。
