Imaging of Wrist Trauma

  • Chapter
Imaging of the Hand and Wrist

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

  • 3474 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter will principally describe and illustrate acute bony injuries of the distal radius and carpus occurring as a result of trauma. Plain films form the bulk of investigations, but where indicated use of CT and MR imaging is also included. Chronic traumatic injuries principally overuse, or stress injuries will also be considered but in less detail.
