Abstract

The throwing motion in sporting activities involves the synchronization of movement of the whole body, from lower limb, trunk, to upper limb. Hand and wrist are the terminal chain of this motion prior to the release of a ball, a shot put, a javelin, or a discus. Thus, wrist injuries are not uncommon in throwers, with the majority being caused by repetitive movements instead of a single traumatic event. This chapter describes some of the common wrist injuries in throwers. Their presentation, examination findings, diagnosis, and subsequent treatment are discussed.
