MRI sport-specific pulley imaging

ConclusionThis novel stress methodology allows for sport-specific imaging, which is ideal for determining functional compromise of the hand ’s pulley mechanism. Surgical outcomes may be more sensitively compared when using stress views, and these comparisons may then direct optimal repair technique. Future studies will utilize this technique to attempt early-stage detection of pulley injuries prior to complete rupture.
