“…A cadaveric study by Kofman et al showed an impressive prevalence of 9/10 osteoarthritic PT joints in the older population [7]. Apart from idiopathic osteoarthritis in the elderly, PT pathology can also be encountered in cases of overuse, fractures, rheumatoid arthritis, impingement syndromes and in post-surgical settings after carpal tunnel release known as pillar pain [1,8,9,10]…”

Pisotriquetral pathology is an important reason for ulnar-sided wrist pain and is frequently overlooked. Cadaveric studies illustrate a high prevalence in the older population. Physical examination is important in diagnosing PT pathology. X-rays and CT-scans can assist in diagnosing PT pathology. Splinting and steroid injections are the treatment of first choice in the absence of PT arthrosis. In case of persistent pain or arthrosis, pisiformectomy should be performed. Pisiformectomy does not cause loss in range of motion, grip strength or carpal instability
