After a brief review of the pertinent anatomy of joint compartments and main ligaments of the wrist, the authors present the technique of wrist arthrography and CT arthrography. They discuss the normal and pathological patterns. The main indications are the chronic painful wrist and posttraumatic wrist. Imaging can reveal ligament defects (particularly scapholunate ligament, or lunotriquetral ligament), triangular fibrocartilage tears, capsular defects, cartilage thinning, foreign bodies, synovial ganglia or synovitis of the wrist.

Background: This study aims to demonstrate the 3-dimensional pattern of the nutrient vessels of the triquetrum using micro-computed tomography and determine the safe region for screw applications to the bone.
Methods: Seven fresh frozen cadavers' ulnar and radial arteries were injected with Microfil MV-117. Triquetral bones were dissected and examined using micro-computed tomography.

The purpose of this study was to develop a robust deep learning approach trained with a small in-vivo MRI dataset for multi-label segmentation of all eight carpal bones for therapy planning and wrist dynamic analysis. Approach: A small dataset of 15 3.0-T MRI scans from five health subjects was employed within this study.

Background: Upper limb fractures significantly alter movement, impacting function and recovery. Three-dimensional motion analysis allows precise assessment of these changes.
Methods: Sixty patients were divided into four groups: shoulder, elbow, wrist fractures, and controls.

Spasticity affects up to 80% of individuals with cerebral palsy and can lead to pain and difficulties with performing activities of daily living. If left untreated, spasticity can progress to contracture and neuro-orthopedic deformities. Cryoneurolysis is an emerging and mini-invasive ultrasound-guided technique that causes secondary axonotmesis of peripheral nerves through the formation of an ice ball and may result in months to years of improved range of motion and reduced pain in patients with spasticity.

Background: Early menarche is associated with both physical and psychosocial problems. Based on psychological and physical health considerations, for girls with early menarche, some parents and physicians may elect to use gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) to delay menstruation. This study aimed to explore the effects of GnRHa treatment on the final height of girls with early menarche and build the models to predict the final adult height (FAH).
