Objectives: The purpose of this agreement was to establish evidence-based consensus statements on imaging of distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability and triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) injuries by an expert group using the Delphi technique.
Methods: Nineteen hand surgeons developed a preliminary list of questions on DRUJ instability and TFCC injuries. Radiologists created statements based on the literature and the authors' clinical experience.
Existing approaches to assessing the reliability and safe operation of downhole equipment provide for assessing only the direct impact of erosion and corrosion processes on the degradation of the material. At the same time, the influence of downhole equipment operating modes on the intensity of corrosion and erosion processes is not evaluated. The necessity of using inflow control devices is shown.

Bony union was achieved in the large majority of scaphoids as demonstrated on computed tomography (CT) scans. We advocate slight lengthening of the scaphoid with bone graft and K-wire fixation without compression of the grafted bone when treating scaphoid waist nonunion.
