Major advancements have been made in the field of wrist surgery, including the use of arthroscopy and improved rehabilitation protocols. Moreover, the understanding of proprioception has revolutionized conservative management, often preventing surgery. Nevertheless, the assessment and management of a myriad of wrist dysfunctions remain challenging, partly due to intricate anatomy and mechanics and a lack of high-quality prospective clinical studies.

Carpal Ligament Injuries and Instability: FESSH Instructional Course Book 2023, edited by renowned hand surgeons Fernando Corella, Carlos Heras-Palou, and Riccardo Luchetti, comprehensively covers the investigation, diagnosis, staging, and management of ligament injuries, as well as the latest open and arthroscopic techniques for treating carpal instabilities.

The first two sections provide a solid foundation, with eight chapters encompassing anatomy and biomechanics, clinical and arthroscopic examination of the wrist, and imaging. Section three delves into scapholunate injury and instability, discussing open and arthroscopic repair, reinforcement, reconstruction, and resection techniques. Section four features five chapters on lunotriquetral injury and instability, encompassing acute and chronic open and arthroscopic injury management. Section five includes four chapters on extrinsic ligament injuries, ranging from perilunate injuries to staging and treatment of nondissociative proximal row instability. The book concludes with a final section comprising two chapters on other types of injuries.
