Male, 76 years old. Left wrist pain. Evaluate for TFCC tear. LIGAMENTS: The scapholunate and lunotriquetral ligaments appear grossly intact.TRIANGULAR FIBROCARTILAGE COMPLEX: There is a small central perforation of the TFCC with small amount of fluid and debris within the the distal radioulnar joint consistent with synovitis.TENDONS: There is increased signal within the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon indicating an intrasubstance tear and tenosynovitis. The remaining tendons are grossly intact.BONES: There is increased signal within the bone marrow on T2 sequences without corresponding abnormality on T1 sequences. This may represent either red marrow reconversion or bone resorption. No evidence of fracture. Mild osteoarthritis affects the carpometacarpal articulations.ADDITIONAL
1. Small central perforation of the TFCC with synovitis of the distal radioulnar joint.2. Diffuse increased signal within the bone marrow likely representing osteopenia/osteoporosis. No evidence of fracture.3. Intrasubstance tear and tenosynovitis of the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon. 4. Soft tissue swelling about the ulnar aspect of the hand.
