36-year-old male with left wrist pain. Evaluate for scapholunate ligament tear. LIGAMENTS: Dilute gadolinium was injected into the midcarpal joint where it remained without extension into the radiocarpal joint to indicate a scapholunate or lunotriquetral ligament tear. There is a lobulated collection of fluid signal intensity volar to the long radiolunate ligament at its radial styloid attachment, compatible with a ganglion, measuring approximately 16 mm in its greatest dimension. We see no definite tear of the volar extrinsic ligaments, however. TRIANGULAR FIBROCARTILAGE COMPLEX: The triangular fibrocartilage complex appears intact.TENDONS: The tendons appear normal. BONES: No bone marrow signal abnormality is identified.ADDITIONAL
1. No evidence of scapholunate ligament tear.2. Fluid within the radiocarpal joint appearing similar to the prior study which is of questionable significance.3. Ganglion along the volar aspect of the long radiolunate ligament at its styloid attachment.
