Hand pain swelling Note that the examination is limited by motion artifact and inability to optimally position the patient.Wrist: There is no abnormal marrow signal to suggest osteoarthritis or gout. There is questionable widening of the scapholunate interval which may reflect a disruption of the scapholunate ligament although this is only appreciated on the coronal T1 sequence.There is diffuse soft tissue edema particularly along the dorsum of the wrist. There is fluid identified within the radiocarpal joint, midcarpal space and DRUJ.Hand: There is no abnormal marrow signal to suggest osteoarthritis or gout. A small focus of increased T2 marrow signal is present within the PIP joint of the ring finger which is nonspecific in nature. Diffuse soft tissue edema is again noted along the dorsum of hand.
1. No evidence of osteomyelitis or active gout within the hand or wrist.2. Diffuse soft tissue edema particularly along the dorsum of the wrist. A small amount of fluid is noted within the wrist as well which is nonspecific but could be reactive in nature.3. Small focus of abnormal marrow within the PIP joint of the ring finger which may be degenerative in nature.
