Mon Ben Chow MD, Abstract Co-Author: Nothing to Disclose

1. To acquaint the reader with the selection of the appropriate imaging modality (including radiography, MRI, CT and ultrasound) in the evaluation of patients with chronic wrist pain based on the clinical scenario. 2. To discuss the etiologies in chronic wrist pain and their imaging features. 3. To describe a differential-based imaging approach in wrist pain and swelling with the use of case examples. 4. Brief discussion of the expanding role of advanced wrist imaging in inflammatory arthritidies.

Review of imaging findings - Osteonecrosis eg. Kienbock’s disease - Occult and chronic fractures complications: nonunion, malunion - Post-traumatic osteoarthritis: SLAC, SNAC - Non-traumatic osteoarthritis eg. thumb CMC joint - Ulnocarpal impaction - Tenosynovitis eg. de Quervain’s disease - Ganglion cysts - Inflammatory arthritidities eg. RA - Carpal tunnel syndrome - Ligament tears, including TFCC lesions Differential-based imaging Case examples - Radial and ulnar sided pain - Dorsal and palmar sided pain - Post-traumatic pain - Non-traumatic pain - Suspected mass Imaging strategies - Pros and cons - Expanding role of wrist imaging in inflammatory arthritidies
