Diagnostic imaging of wrist instability
Journal Title: Ortopedia Traumatologia Rehabilitacja - Year 2006, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Wrist instability is an important clinical problem. The diagnosis of instability is not easy, because it includes very subtle structures and changes between them, which are difficult to evaluate. A detailed and careful evaluation of the changes in connection with specific anatomical and pathological knowledge leads to the appropriate interpretation of the results of diagnostic examination. The aim of the present study is to look closely at all available methods of imaging diagnosis and diagnostic arthroscopy, with particular emphasis on the technical aspects of the examination.
