Abstract

The introduction of 3-T MR imaging scanners as well as dedicated wrist coils has allowed for scanning of the unique anatomic structures within the hand with unprecedented accuracy. In this article, the authors discuss common hand conditions, focusing on imaging findings and the utility of MR imaging as it pertains to hand surgery. The authors examine its role in the treatment of hand deep-space infections, scaphoid fractures, scapholunate ligament injuries, thumb ulnar collateral ligament injuries, and ulnar-sided wrist pain.
