Overview
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful diagnostic tool to assess the abnormalities of the bone, ligaments and soft tissues associated with the ulnar fractures, but it is known as a limited utility in radioulnar injuries and is not indicated in uncomplicated forearm fractures.
MRI
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an expensive technique that should not be used routinely.
- MRI is a powerful diagnostic tool to assess the abnormalities of the bone, ligaments and soft tissues associated with the ulnar fractures, but it is known as a limited utility in radioulnar injuries and is not indicated in uncomplicated forearm fractures[1][2][3].
- Meanwhile, the MRI can be useful in in following mentioned evaluations:
- Evaluation of occult fractures
- Evaluation of the post-traumatic or avascular necrosis of carpal bones
- Evaluation of tendons
- Evaluation of nerve
- Evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome
