Popis: Judicious use of diagnostic imaging maximizes the diagnostic capabilities of the surgeon treating the distal radio-ulnar joint (DRUJ). A good clinical history and clinical examination are necessary to direct the selection of appropriate imaging studies. Plain radiographs are almost always the first imaging examination. More advanced imaging techniques are costly and may provide only limited information. This article discusses imaging modalities useful for assessment of the DRUJ and the area around it.
