There is a high prevalence of ligamentous injury to the wrist in the setting of trauma,
particularly in the presence of bone abnormalities. 1–4 A recent study found that 60% of …

Numerous intrinsic and extrinsic wrist ligaments are visible at magnetic resonance (MR)
imaging. Because the previously published descriptions of these ligaments were often …

Wrist pain is a common, nonspecific patient complaint that may be secondary to a variety of
underlying processes, both degenerative and traumatic. Wrist trauma can be divided into 2 …

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is an effective method for helping determine the cause of
wrist pain by demonstrating a broad spectrum of abnormalities, including those of bone …

In the past, the diagnostic imaging algorithm for evaluating the painful wrist included initial
plain radiographic examination followed by arthrography, tomography, bone scintigraphy, or …

SUMMARY MR imaging is a rapidly evolving modality for examining the ligaments of the
wrist. Recent improvements in magnet design and receiver coil technology have allowed …

The advent of small arthroscopes has enabled the hand surgeon to visualize the ligaments
of the wrist directly with resultant increased accuracy in diagnosing and treating pathology …

Conventional imaging of the wrist has relied heavily on plain radiography, tomography,
fluoroscopy and arthrography. More recently, computed tomography and magnetic …

The optimal imaging protocols for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the wrist ligaments
are discussed, including the use of magnetic resonance arthrography, and 3 Tesla (T) …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is particularly useful for imaging the wrist due to its
superior soft tissue contrast and ability to detect subtle bone marrow changes and occult …
