Discussion although the disease is generally more likely to be chronic, acute mycobacterial arthritis has been reported; periarticular bone lesions may accompany the synovial involvement; pulmonary tuberculosis is evident in only half the patients with skeletal involvement; pulmonary TB signs vary with stage of dz, few early on; later high fever, wt loss, prolonged, productive … Read more
– See: – Blood Supply to the Wrist – Triquetrolunate Dissociation – Discussion: – triquetrium is the 3rd most commonly fractured carpal bone; – ular side of the wrist is supported by TFC, which articulates w/ both lunate and the triquetrum; … Read more
– See: – Ligaments of the Wrist and RU Joint – Discussion: – is ulnar continuation of distal radius & presents concave surface for articulation w/ lunate & triquetrium; – ular side of the wrist is supported by the TFCC, which articulates w/ both the lunate and the triquetrum; – TFCC is prone to injury due … Read more
– Discussion: – 20% of all ganglia – most common site at volar wrist crease between the FCR and APL at the scaphotrapezoid joint; – volar ganglions may be less amenable to aspiration than dorsal ganglions since the radial artery may be adjacent to the cyst – recurrence … Read more
– Discussion: – often patients will note pain weeks to months after the cast is removed; – w/ excessive dorsal tilt, will often develop a symptomatic ulnar mid-carpal instability (or carpus adaptive DISI); – in the report by Taleisnik and Watson (1984), the average amount … Read more
– Open Resection: – short transverse incision directly over the mass; – dorsal ganglions are often located between the EPL and EDC tendons; – retinaculum is incised between the 2nd and 4th extensor compartments (EPL tendon sheath need not be incised); – main cyst and its pedicle … Read more

– See: Trans-scaphoid Perilunar Dislocation – Discussion: – occurs as oblique frx through radial styloid, extending thru scapholunate ligament and around the lunate, through the triquetral attachments; – due to the radiocapitate ligament, the fractured styloid process migrates with the distal carpal row; – because styloid is held by radiolunate … Read more
