More than a decade ago, a group of friends interested in the Anatomy and Biomechanics of the wrist began to spend hours in the Anatomy Departments of the two most important Universities in Barcelona, without expecting any other reward than learning and satisfying our concerns. Taking advantage of the launch of the journal of Hand Surgery and microsurgery from Colombian Association of Hand Surgery, we have decided to take stock of the accumulated learning. Regardless of the knowledge that we have acquired and disseminated; the main conclusion of this balance is the need for teamwork to move forward. Like any team, ours also needed captains to lead it. We were lucky and honored to have Dr. Marc Garcia-Elias as our guide, and Professors Manuel Llusá and Alfonso Rodríguez Baeza as unconditional support. This writing is a small summary of the work of our group during these more than 11 years in the Laboratory of Biomechanics of the Wrist, and of its potential applications in the clinic.
