title: Forearm and wrist radiology--Part I.
abstract: The emergency physician must be well versed in diagnosing forearm and wrist injuries. Although many of these injuries are readily apparent, others require more sophistication to appreciate. Careful attention to radiographic findings given the assistance of a well-directed history and physical examination is imperative. Both the more common and the more subtle injuries are discussed.
