“…Its use has also been described for study of the wrist [12,13]. Panoramic examination of the wrist permits [15] classification, and also showed more cases of delayed union, nonunion, and union.…”

“…For the clarification of some cases ( ≈ 20%), the variant of the standard posteroanterior panoramic projection was performed. The panoramic projections have been described elsewhere [12]. The Orthoralix SD Ceph (Philips Medical Systems, Monza, Italy) was used for panoramic studies of the wrist.…”

“…In 1991, we reported the first study of panoramic radiographs of the carpus [12], and in a second article [13], we reported that the panoramic technique is a useful complement to conventional radiography for the investigation of scaphoid fractures and nonunions. Since that second study, the number of patients evaluated with panoramic radiographs of the wrist has increased considerably.…”

“…Panoramic technique or orthopantomography is widely used in evaluation of the dentomaxillofacial region. In 1991, the first article regarding panoramic carpal radiography (8) and in another article (9), panoramic radiography was reported to be a useful supplement for conventional radiography in the evaluation of scaphoid fractures. Diagnosis of fractures and non-unions in patients who were evaluated with panoramic radiographs of the wrist after conventional radiographs showed a significant improvement.…”

Comparative Study of the Diagnostic Value of Panoramic and Conventional Radiography of the Wrist in Scaphoid Fractures

BackgroundScaphoid fractures are the most common type of carpal fractures.ObjectivesThe aim of the study was to compare the diagnostic value of panoramic and conventional radiographs of the wrist in scaphoid fractures.Patients and MethodsThe panoramic and conventional radiographs of 122 patients with acute and chronic wrist trauma were studied. The radiographs were analyzed and examined by two independent radiologist observers; one physician radiologist and one maxillofacial radiologist. The final diagnosis was made by an orthopedic specialist. Kappa test was used for statistical calculations, inter- and intra-observer agreement and correlation between the two techniques.ResultsWrist panoramic radiography was more accurate than conventional radiography for ruling out scaphoid fractures. There was an agreement in 85% or more of the cases. Agreement values were higher with better inter and intra observer agreement for panoramic examinations than conventional radiographic examinations.ConclusionThe panoramic examination of the wrist is a useful technique for the diagnosis and follow-up of scaphoid fractures. Its use is recommended as a complement to conventional radiography in cases with inconclusive findings.

This study describes the diagnostic potential of the panoramic X-ray technique in the evaluation of scaphoid fractures and nonunions. Fifty-eight symptomatic wrists were examined using both plain X-rays and the panoramic procedure. The panoramic images showed in detail the line of the scaphoid fracture and nonunion in detail; they revealed four scaphoid fractures and five nonunions that were not shown clearly with plain X-rays. The panoramic technique is a useful complement to plain X-rays for the investigation of scaphoid fractures and nonunions.
