title: [Clinical examination of the wrist].
abstract: The clinical examination of the wrist allows an accurate orientation of the diagnostic. The precise localization of the pain is essential in order to identify the injured intracarpal structure. Stress tests are designed to reproduce painful mobilisation and to reveal an instability. Clinical examination of the wrist is a pre requisite to guide radiological investigations.
