Optimal detection of scapholunate ligament tears with MRI.

CONCLUSION: SLIL tears are more readily detectable on axial MRI sequences than coronal. Clinically, patients with radial-sided wrist pain and suspicion for SLIL tears should have the axial sequences scrutinized carefully. An otherwise normal study with the axial sequence being degraded by motion or other MRI artifacts might need repeat imaging. PMID: 26861205 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
