Overview

Description

Wrist MRI protocol and normal anatomy provide a foundation for assessing scaphoid injury and non-union, avascular necrosis, TFCC abnormalities, and scapholunate instability. Further topics include ulnocarpal abutment, tendon disorders, and common patterns of nerve entrapment.

Learning Objectives

Apply an appropriate wrist MRI protocol and recognise normal osseous and soft-tissue anatomy.
