Annemieke Milants, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

Maryam Shahabpour MD, Abstract Co-Author: Nothing to Disclose

Michel De Maeseneer MD, Abstract Co-Author: Nothing to Disclose

To discuss detailed anatomy of the extrinsic wrist ligaments, illustrated by anatomical dissection. To discuss function and clinical relevance of the different ligaments. To present standard and 3D MR images with thin sections of the extrinsic ligaments.  

1. The palmar extrinsic ligaments - radioscaphocapitate (RSC) - radiolunotriquetral (RLT) - short radiolunate (SRL) - radioscapholunate/ligament of Testut (RSL) - palmar ulnotriquetral (pUT) - ulnolunate (UL) - ulnocapitate (UC) 2. The dorsal extrinsic ligaments - dorsal radiotriquetral (dRT) - dorsal ulnotriquetral (dUT) 3. The midcarpal ligaments (combining extrinsic and intrinsic ligaments) - palmar scaphotriquetral/ ligament of Sennwald (pST) - arcuate ligament: triquetrohamatocapitate (THC) and scaphocapitate (SC) - dorsal scaphotriquetral (dST) - triquetrotrapeziotrapezoidal (TTT) - distal part of RSC - scaphotrapeziotrapezoidal complex (STT) 4. Stabilizing function of the extrinsic ligaments 5. MR Imaging of the extrinsic ligaments (standard and thin section 3D DESS)
