Abstract:
Ulnar-sided wrist pain remains a commonly encountered diagnostic challenge, and its successful management requires a comprehensive understanding of the multiple conditions that can present with this symptom. Midcarpal impaction syndromes in the form of Hamato-lunate and Triquetro-hamate impingement have both previously been reported as rare potential causes of ulnar-sided wrist pain. Despite this, they remain poorly recognized and incompletely understood. This article reviews existing literature that describes the diagnosis and management of these clinical entities.

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:

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above...
