Abstract

Wrist pain is a common presenting complaint in patients both for the hand specialist and the primary care physician.

Radiologic as well as arthroscopic technology and techniques continue to evolve and provide useful adjuncts to wrist evaluation that expand our diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities.
