Wrist injuries are commonly encountered in both the amateur and professional sports communities. They can occur through a single traumatic event or from repetitive episodes leading to overuse injuries. As the wrist is a complex structure encompassing many bones, joints, and ligaments, early recognition and diagnosis of these injuries play a vital role in directing treatment and preserving wrist function. A sound understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics of the wrist is required for this. Specific injury patterns are also associated with specific sports activities and knowledge of this will enable the diagnostician to arrive at an accurate diagnosis. This chapter aims to review the patterns of injuries encountered in the wrist among the more popular and emerging sports, along with the biomechanics and pathophysiology of these injuries that help to explain the imaging findings.

Introduction
The benefits of sports are well recognized but many sports-related activities carry a specific injury risk. Injuries to the wrist and hand occur with a frequency of between 3 and 9% (Geissler 2001). This injury incidence will obviously be higher in those sports utilizing the hand and wrist, and where the potential for trauma during

sporting activity is present. Trauma to the wrist may cause bone or soft-tissue injury, which may sometimes be difficult to diagnose. Symptoms vary, according to the structure involved or nature of injury, but pain and limited joint function are the usual complaints. Physical examination may be difficult due to the proximity of many small bony and soft-tissue structures, as well as small articulations. The wide spectrum of sporting activities places demands of different magnitudes, orientations, and degrees of repetitions on the wrist. These injuries may result from a single debilitating episode or repetitive traumatic
