Abstract:
In the diagnosis of ulnar wrist pain, physical examinations including provacative tests are primary elements in identifying the site and nature of ulnar wrist pain. Imagings techniques are helpful for diagnosing occult fractures and distal radioulnar subluxation, but unsatisfactory for diagnosing ulnocarpal impaction syndrome, tears of the triangular fibrocartilage complex and lunotriquetral ligament, and joint mouse, imagings. Therefore, prior to surgical intervention arthroscopy is recommended for patients with persistent ulnar wrist pain that interferes with their daily activity.

Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
Bones of the Upper Limb: Ulna
Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a short...
