The interosseous membrane of the forearm is an important structure to consider in cases of elbow and forearm trauma; it can be injured after elbow or forearm fractures, leading to longitudinal forearm instability. Diagnosis of interosseous membrane injuries is challenging, and failure in diagnosis may result in poor clinical outcomes and complications. Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound have shown to be valuable methods for the evaluation of this important structure. Both techniques have advantages and limitations, and its use should be adapted to each specific clinical scenario. This article presents an up-to-date literature review regarding the use of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in the forearm interosseous membrane evaluation.
前臂骨间膜是肘部和前臂创伤时需要考虑的重要结构;它可在肘部或前臂骨折后受伤,导致前臂纵向不稳定。骨间膜损伤的诊断具有挑战性,如果诊断失败可能导致不良的临床结果和并发症。磁共振成像和超声已被证明是评估这一重要结构的有价值的方法。这两种技术都有其优点和局限性,其使用应适应每个特定的临床情况。本文就超声和磁共振成像在评估前臂骨间膜中的应用进行了最新的文献回顾。
