| Abstract | ||
| Introduction Worldwide, musculoskeletal pain (including chronic wrist pain) is a very common and crucial medical issue. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commonly used tool to noninvasively examine the anatomy and pathology of the wrist joint, it is often an ideal imaging modality in the assessment of various pathologic conditions of this region. MRI is an effective method for helping to determine the cause of wrist pain by demonstrating a broad spectrum of osseous and soft tissue abnormalities such as avascular necrosis, triangular fibrocartilage complex tears, ligamentous tears, ganglion cysts, carpal tunnel syndrome and osteoarthritis. Knowledge of the imaging anatomy of the wrist is essential for reporting MRI. This familiarity should include the carpal bones, tendons (extensor and flexor compartments), triangular fibrocartilage complex, intrinsic & extrinsic ligaments and nerves especially the median & ulnar nerves. Aim The aim of the study was to assess the role of the magnetic resonance imaging in evaluation of chronic non traumatic wrist pain. | ||
