Finite element analysis uncovers stress distributions and contact pressures in carpal bones, suggesting underlying mechanical complexities.
The internal mechanics of the human wrist are poorly understood due to the complexity of its small irregular bones and connecting ligament structures. Detailed information is not known about the stress distributions within carpal bones, contact pressures between bones or carpal displacements and ligament forces when the carpus is loaded.
