It might have six compartments, but sure seems like a lot more. And there may be only (!) 16 bones in the wrist, but some of those 27 hand bones could figure into your report equation before you even get to the connective and soft tissues. Itโs the scan you might need to flip to efficiently read, but thatโs not to say itโll be easy. The other tricky โsmall partsโ are not as daunting as the wrist, even for readers with many yearsโ experience. (Sure hope that patient isnโt moving.) Carpal tunnel syndrome only scratches the surface of pathology here (Stener, deQuervain, a spaghetti bowl of ligaments and tendons) โ and then there are the additional layers of classifications (Palmer et al) and everyoneโs favorite, postsurgical evaluation for healing and therapy. Trauma to this joint happens at all ages โ the wrist clinicians in your area may be among the busiest surgeons and MRI users, and you can be that go-to reader for them.
Our Wrist MRI Mastery series includes an expanded anatomy section by sequence (useful for quick consults as well as thorough refresher) and a โspotlightโ on the triangular fibrocartilage, in addition to a hefty smorgasbord of case reviews. We feature search patterns to help identify those nerves, tendons and vessels (often so tiny on axials), build a bridge over Guyonโs canal and discuss those pesky intrinsic vs extrinsic ligaments. Then itโs a quick scroll down to our cross-training resources for the wrist โ the Advanced Orthopedic and Joint MRI series, even more Case Reviews of both hand and wrist, and the Professional series. Whether itโs a deep dive youโre looking for or just a helping โhandโ with a current challenging case, weโve got you covered!
