Wrist arthrography.

Wrist arthrography can be helpful in the evaluation of the chronically painful wrist and, more specifically, in visualization of the integrity of the triangular fibrocartilage and interosseous ligaments. To be meaningful, arthrographic findings, i.e., compartment communication, synovial irregularity, tendon sheath and lymphatic visualization, loose bodies, and cartilage abnormalities, must be correlated with clinical history and physical examination.
