Increase in the soft-tissue thickness of the wrist is said to be a sensitive indicator of early oedema due to generalised or local arthritic disease. No normal values are available. Measurement of the soft-tissue thickness opposite the radial and ulnar styloid processes in a random population demonstrated a large normal range which was not related to obesity. This large normal variation calls into question the accuracy of radiological evaluation of early wrist oedema.
手腕软组织厚度增加据说是全身性或局部性关节炎疾病导致早期水肿的敏感指标。目前尚无正常数值。对随机人群中桡骨茎突和尺骨茎突相对处的软组织厚度进行测量，结果显示正常范围很大，且与肥胖无关。这种较大的正常变异让人对早期手腕水肿的放射学评估准确性产生质疑。
