Ligamentous injuries to the wrist. Imaging techniques.
The variety of imaging techniques available to the clinician facilitates the diagnosis of acute and chronic wrist disorders. In most cases, conventional radiographs provide sufficient information. Computed and trispiral tomography, arthrography, video-fluoroscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging are additional imaging techniques that are useful in making the correct diagnosis and deciding on a course of treatment.
