“…MRI along the long axis of the nerve demonstrates the site of entrapment and changes at this level. [8,15] e muscles innervated by the affected nerve demonstrate denervation edema in the acute phase, and fatty infiltration with atrophy in the chronic phase.…”

Peripheral neuropathy (PN) can be due to either entrapment or other causes such as trauma, infection, inflammation, and mass lesions. Evaluation of peripheral nerves was previously limited to history, clinical examination, and electrodiagnostic tests. However, now, with advances in imaging, both ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enable excellent evaluation of the peripheral nerves. US can be used for preliminary imaging of patients with PN and MRI can be done if US results are inadequate or equivocal.

“…In our practice, the most common indications for imaging include the following: detecting radiographically occult osseous injuries ( Figure 1 ), assessment of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) and intrinsic ligaments of the wrist, ligament tears involving the fingers, and flexor and extensor tendon injuries. Additionally, MRI is very helpful in characterising palpable abnormalities, such as ganglion cysts, soft tissue masses, and osseous excrescences [ 1 , 2 ], as well as assessing for causes of peripheral neuropathies of the median and ulnar nerves within the wrist and hand ( Figure 2 ) [ 3 ].…”

The anatomy of the wrist and hand is complex and contains numerous small structures. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often an ideal imaging modality in the assessment of various traumatic and pathologic conditions of this region, and it is frequently performed after initial radiographs. In this manuscript we describe the normal anatomy, imaging techniques, and MRI findings of various traumatic and pathologic conditions of the wrist and hand including occult fractures, osteonecrosis, ligamentous and tendon injuries, and entrapment neuropathies.
