Wrist pain and swelling LIGAMENTS: No significant abnormality noted.TRIANGULAR FIBROCARTILAGE COMPLEX: The distal portion of the TFCC is not well seen as there is some intermediate signal intensity. The more proximal portion is intact.TENDONS: This proximal to the ulna, extensor carpi ulnaris tendon demonstrates abnormal signal and morphology (series 6 image 15/33) although no fluid-filled signal is identified internally. Further distally, the tendon is of normal appearance. Additionally, there is an small amount of fluid within the radiocarpal and midcarpal spaces as well as within the DRUJ. Increased soft tissue signal is also evident at the radiocarpal articulation.BONES: No significant abnormality noted.ADDITIONAL
1. Tendinosis of the extensor carpi ulnaris. There is increased signal intensity anterior to the ulna may reflect a component of inflammation.2. Intermediate signal intensity of the distal TFCC which is not well seen. This may be technical in nature but if further evaluation is warranted, MR arthrogram can be obtained.
