Sagittal Anatomy Part 1

HIDE
PrevNext

0:00

Wrist MRI sagittal anatomy,

0:03

the least favorite nation projection.

0:06

Some basic bony landmarks.

0:08

Lister's tubercle, the back of the radius, helps you

0:12

find the extensor pollicis longus tendon.

0:17

The capitate, the lunate, the third

0:20

metacarpal, and the radius all lined up

0:23

prettily in a row as the central column.

0:27

This is the projection I use to look at

0:29

the hook of the hamate, or hamulus,

0:33

and so-called golfer's fracture, or simply

0:36

a lower-grade bone injury of such.

0:39

This is my projection to look at

0:41

the pisotriquetral articulation,

0:44

which has a bit of fluid in it.

0:46

Even though this patient has no symptoms

0:48

there, almost everyone will have a little bit

0:52

of fluid or asymptomatic inflammation due to

0:55

friction of the pisotriquetral articulation.

0:58

21 00:00:59,330 --> 00:01:02,050 And I don't get excited about it unless it's under

1:02

pressure, it exhibits mass effect on surrounding

1:05

structures, there are erosions, or there's edema

1:08

on both sides of the articulation, or when you

1:11

palpate the pisiform clinically, it is tender.
