• This education exhibit will review the aetiology of common injuries encountered by the examining sports physician/radiologist in the elite golfer. The exhibit will include a discussion regarding the biomechanics of the golf swing and how this relates to the different osseous and soft tissue pathologies seen in the leading and trailing wrists of elite golfers. • The imaging findings will be reviewed with a particular emphasis on ultrasound and MR. Static and dynamic ultrasound techniques will be discussed. The images are taken from elite professional golfers who sustained injuries on the European PGA tour. The wrist injuries will classified anatomically; with radial sided, ulnar sided and dorsal wrist injuries.
