William P. Cooney III, R. A. Berger, and K. N. An Orthopedic
Biomechanics Laboratory Department of Orthopedic Surgery Mayo
Clinic and Mayo Foundation Rochester, MN 55905, U. S. A. As
surgeons struggle to find new insights into the complex diseases
and deformities that involve the wrist and hand, new insights are
being provided by applied anatomy, physiology and biomechanics to
these important areas. Indeed, a fresh new interaction of
disciplines has immersed in which anatomists, bioengineers and
surgeons examine together basic functions and principles that can
provide a strong foundation for future growth. Clinical interest in
the hand and wrist are now at a peak on an international level.
Economic implications of disability affecting the hand and wrist
are recognized that have international scope crossing oceans,
cultures, languages and political philosophies. As with any
struggle, a common ground for understanding is essential. NATO
conferences such as this symposium on Biomechanics of the Hand and
Wrist provides such a basis upon which to build discernment of
fundamental postulates. As a start, basic research directed at
studies of anatomy, pathology and pathophysiology and mechanical
modeling is essential. To take these important steps further
forward, funding from government and industry are needed to
consider fundamental principles within the material sciences,
biomechanical disciplines, applied anatomy and physiology and
concepts of engineering modeling that have been applied to other
areas of the musculoskeletal system.
