Background
Triple compartment arthrography is considered the most specific technique for evaluating ligamentous injuries of the wrist.
MR arthrogram can also guide to differentiate between traumatic and degenrate tears.
Levinsohn et al.,
(1991) highlighted a significantly improved diagnostic yield following the evaluation of 300 patients who had the triple compartment injection technique [2]. This involved a separate injection into all three wrist compartments,
with the addition of the mid-carpal joint (MCJ) and distal radio-ulnar joint (DRUJ) injections to the standard radio-carpal joint (RCJ) injection.
We evaluated a publication by Moser et al.,
(2008) and summarised the articular injection technique using the triple compartment method.
