Lateral approach for radiocarpal wrist arthrography

AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2011 Jan;196(1):W58-60. doi: 10.2214/AJR.10.4900.

Abstract

Objective: We describe a technique of radiocarpal arthrography using the lateral approach. This technique may be used as an alternative to conventional dorsal techniques.

Conclusion: Radiocarpal injection using the lateral approach can be considered as an alternative to conventional dorsal approaches in the evaluation of wrist pain and instability.
