Abstract:
Osteoid osteoma in the wrist and hand region is an uncommon but severely symptomatic primary bone tumour. We report the case of a professional athlete with a radial styloid osteoid osteoma who presented with significant wrist pain and stiffness resembling arthritis for which she was treated initially. The symptoms started after a fall on the outstretched hand and significant delay in the diagnosis occurred. Following detailed imaging evaluation of the tumour site excision biopsy was curative.

Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
Pre-Procedural Preparation
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:
