AB The  hand  and  wrist  are  among  the  most  often  radiographed  areas  of  the  skeleton  in  any  age  group.  The  high  frequency  of  traumatic  fractures  as  well  as  the  painful  degenerative  conditions  from  repetitive  microtrauma  or  arthritic  deformities  account  for  this.  The  clinicians  involved  in  treatment  of  the  hand  and  wrist  rely  on  imaging  to  assist  in  accurate  diagnosis  to  minimize  delays  in  providing  appropriate  treatment—delays  that  may  result  in  long-term  disability  and  surgery.
