Imaging of dorsal wrist pain.

ABSTRACT: Pain on the dorsal side of the wrist is a common clinical presentation, comparable to pain experienced on the ulnar and radial aspects of the wrist. The dorsal wrist region has distinct anatomical features and is associated with a wide spectrum of pathologies, including conditions affecting the bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. Accurate diagnosis often depends on imaging techniques such as radiographs and ultrasound, with a growing trend towards the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for more detailed assessment of complex cases. The role of imaging in diagnosing dorsal wrist pain is expected to expand further in the future. To the best of our knowledge, there has not been a comprehensive review paper that specifically addresses the imaging findings related to dorsal wrist pai
