 Contrast opacified the radiocarpal articulation in the expected fashion. Contrast extended into the midcarpal joint initially via a defect in the lunotriquetral ligament. With gentle manipulation of the wrist, communication of contrast between the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints was also noted via the scapholunate interval; however, I suspect that this communication is of limited significance, as the dorsal component of the scapholunate ligament appears intact on preliminary review of the MR images. No contrast extended into the distal radioulnar joint indicate a triangular fibrocartilage tear. Please refer to the subsequent MRI report for further information.Exposure time: Three minutes and 14 seconds
Tears of the lunotriquetral and scapholunate ligaments as described above, of questionable clinical significance.
