Pisotriquetral arthritis: a case report.
Degenerative arthritis of the pisotriquetral joint was diagnosed by point tenderness over the pisiform and crepitus elicited by lateral movement of the pisiform on the triquetrum. It was confirmed by a roentgenogram of the wrist (lateral view in 30 degrees supination) and injection of the pisotriquetral joint with local anesthetic. Excision of the pisiform resulted in complete relief of pain.
