Triquetral Bone Fractures in Athletes: A Growing Concern
The triquetral bone, a pyramidal-shaped component of the wrist's carpus, has gained attention due to its role in recent athletic injuries. Located between the lunate and pisiform bones, this bone is the third most common site of carpal fractures, particularly among athletes. Among us online, triquetrum fractures occur when the wrist is overextended, a common movement in sports. These fractures can range from small chips to complete breaks through the bone's middle. The triquetral bone's unique shape, with five sections on three sides, and its partial coverage by the pisiform bone contribute to its vulnerability. While several orthopedists have treated these injuries, no single doctor has been explicitly linked with frequent treatment of triquetrum fractures in athletes in recent months. Names mentioned include Dr. Ingo Brach, Dr. Marko Niederhaus, PD Dr. Elke Maurer, and Dr. Franziska Zwecker from Lumedis, but specific data is lacking. Understanding the triquetral bone's structure and its susceptibility to fractures in athletes is crucial for prevention and prompt treatment. Further research and tracking of these injuries can help identify leading specialists in treating triquetrum fractures among athletes.
