Snuffbox tenderness. Evaluate for scaphoid fracture. LIGAMENTS: The scapholunate and lunotriquetral ligaments appear intact. TRIANGULAR FIBROCARTILAGE COMPLEX: Mildly increased signal intensity within the triangular fibrocartilage tissue likely reflects mild degeneration. No fluid-filled tear is seen.TENDONS: Note is made of multiple slips of the tendon of the flexor pollicis longus, a normal variant. The extensor carpi ulnaris tendon appears medially subluxed from the ulnar groove, however the tendon appears normal without fluid within the sheath.BONES: Bandlike focus of abnormal signal traverses the waist/proximal pole of the scaphoid, consistent with a nondisplaced fracture. There is minimal adjacent edema, suggestive of a subacute healing fracture. Also seen is curvilinear abnormal signal in the proximal end of the scaphoid suggestive of avascular necrosis with adjacent edema. No abnormal contour or fragmentation of the scaphoid is seen. The remaining bones appear normal.ADDITIONAL
Findings consistent with a subacute healing fracture of the scaphoid with mild avascular necrosis of the proximal pole. Other findings as described above.
