Abstract
The biomechanical function of the human hand and wrist is closely related to the intricacy of its anatomy. The arrangement of the bones, ligament, and muscles in the hand allows a complex array of tasks to be performed. This chapter provides a brief review of the anatomy of the hand and wrist, normal biomechanical function, and examples of pathomechanics.
