Background:
Postoperative imaging is essential to document the surgical outcome of the musculoskeletal system of the hand.
Objectives:
Common radiological findings in the postoperative musculoskeletal system of the hand are explained in the context of the preoperative findings.
Materials And Methods:
For important surgical procedures of the hand, classifications, surgical procedures, and complications are presented. Diagnostic criteria in postoperative radiography and computed tomography (CT) imaging are described for each indication group.
Results:
Clinical information and postoperative findings are systematically presented for fractures of the radius, scaphoid, metacarpal and phalanges, scapholunate dissociation, perilunate injuries and for procedures of arthrodesis and arthroplasty in the hand. Complications are pointed out.
Discussion:
Precise reporting in postoperative radiography and CT imaging of the hand is based on a well-defined order, a standardised examination technique and on synoptic evaluation of clinical and radiological criteria.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
