Abstract
The osteoligamentous guidance of the carpal bones is similar to a ring under tension. Axial load of the wrist passes through the radiocarpal compartment of the proximal carpal joint on to the forearm. Hand motions in the carpal region produce variable changes of bone position. From that many deformities in cases of carpal instabilities could be explained.
