-Arthrography and computed tomography arthrography of the wrist-.

After a brief review of the pertinent anatomy of joint compartments and main ligaments of the wrist, the authors present the technique of wrist arthrography and CT arthrography. They discuss the normal and pathological patterns. The main indications are the chronic painful wrist and posttraumatic wrist. Imaging can reveal ligament defects (particularly scapholunate ligament, or lunotriquetral ligament), triangular fibrocartilage tears, capsular defects, cartilage thinning, foreign bodies, synovial ganglia or synovitis of the wrist.
