MRI Scan for wrist in Hyderabad
The wrist is the joint between the hand and the forearm. A radiocarpal joint joins the radius bone of the forearm to the bones in the hands called carpal bones. The makeup of the joint allows a range of movements like flexion-extension, side-to-side movement, namely adduction and abduction, and even rotation. That is why it is called an ellipsoid or condyloid joint because it allows movement between two axes. With so much movement available, the wrist becomes more prone to injury. The injury can be to the bones or the muscles and tendons going over it. To visualize all these structures, an MRI is an investigation of choice.
