Flexor carpi radialis (FCR) tendonitis is described as an uncommon condition that causing pain at the palmar aspect of radial wrist. FCR a middle-aged which tends to affect dominant hand. Patients with usually presents and swelling over side Resistance against deviation wrist may illicit tenderness. tendinitis can be diagnose clinically, however, radiographs MRI help confirm diagnosis. Manageme...

OBJECTIVE To compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), conventional radiography, and ultrasonography in identifying bone erosions in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and to determine the validity and reliability of an MRI scale in detecting and grading joint damage. METHODS In 26 JIA patients, the clinically more affected wrist was studied with MRI, radiography, and ultrason...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate golimumab's effect on MRI-detected inflammation and structural damage in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) despite methotrexate (MTX). METHODS Patients (n=444) were randomly assigned to placebo plus MTX, golimumab 100 mg plus placebo, golimumab 50 mg plus MTX, or golimumab 100 mg plus MTX (subcutaneous injections every 4 weeks). A subset of 240 patients part...

background : the hand and wrist bones are infrequent sites for osteoid osteoma, and its diagnosis can be difficult. this paper reports 25 cases of osteoid osteoma in the hand and wrist.   methods : records of the 25 patients who had pathological conditions of osteoid osteoma of the hand and wrist were reviewed and analyzed.   results : twenty-five cases of osteoid osteoma of the hand and wrist ...

The objective of this study was to compare the scope and the discriminative power of Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) to those of semi-quantitative MRI scoring for evaluating treatments for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in multicenter randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Sixty-one patients with active RA participated in a double-blind, parallel group, randomized, multice...

A 32-year-old woman presented with left wrist pain and tender mass at the wrist for 1 month. She described left 4th and 5th digit tingling which worsened with palpation of the mass. Sensory nerve action potential of the digital sensory branch of the left ulnar nerve was of low amplitude and prolonged distal latency. Motor conduction studies and needle EMG were normal. Wrist MRI (figure) showed ...

INTRODUCTION Ulnar variance affects the force distribution across the wrist and is related with some ulnar pathologies. Ulnar minus variance is associated with Kienböck’s disease, whereas ulnar plus variance plays an important role in triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tear and ulnar impaction syndrome. Ulnar variance is measured based on plain radiograph. However, plain radiograph shows ...

OBJECTIVE To compare a low field dedicated extremity magnetic resonance imaging system (E-MRI) with x ray and clinical examination, in the detection of inflammation and erosive lesions in wrist and metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints in newly diagnosed, untreated rheumatoid arthritis (RA). PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty five patients (disease duration < or =1 year) and three healthy controls entere...
