Overview

Description

Intrinsic and extrinsic muscles, extensor and flexor tendon complexes, injury zones, and collateral ligaments establish the anatomical framework. Common non-neoplastic lesions and benign and malignant hand tumours are then examined through practical localisation and MRI characterisation.

Learning Objectives

Identify normal finger muscles, tendons, pulleys, and collateral ligaments on MRI.
Localise and classify extensor, flexor, and ligament injuries.
Differentiate common non-neoplastic, benign, and malignant soft-tissue masses of the finger.
