Fig. 3B 41-year-old man with noncommunicating tear at ulnar insertion
of triangular fibrocartilage, fracture of distal radius, and avulsion of ulnar
styloid process in left wrist due to fall 10 days before examination.
Arthroscopy showed communicating tear of ulnar attachment triangular
fibrocartilage. Proton density-weighted MR image (TR/TE, 2,430/34) (A)
and T1-weighted fat-saturated coronal image (525/15) (B) show diffuse
bone marrow signal alterations in distal radius and distal ulna and avulsion
(arrowhead) of ulnar styloid process. Leaked contrast agent is
evident in ulnar attachment (large straight arrow) of triangular
fibrocartilage and in area (curved arrow) between ulnar styloid
process and ulna. Fluid (small straight arrows) in radiocarpal joint
was interpreted as bloody joint effusion.
