Evaluation of complex carpal trauma: thin-section direct longitudinal computed tomography scanning through a plaster cast.
Direct longitudinal computed tomography of the wrist, with a plaster cast on the forearm, is described. In a case of complex carpal injuries, the advantages of this method are compared with those of conventional radiographic studies.
