title: [Fibrous structures of the wrist. II. Biomechanical study].
abstract: Each fibrous structure of the wrist has been studied by elastometric methods. These lead to a classification superposable to the functional classification. They show up the big mechanical differences between to tendons and but to ligaments. The former are 3 to 5 times as solid, but 3 to times less extensible than the latter. These are divided into 3 groups the more fragile as much as they are stretchable. The aponeuroses have their place between tendons and ligaments, but their properties are very closer to the latter.
