MRI Wrist Ulnar Styloid Fracture
We often underestimate ulnar styloid fractures as insignificant or just an additional finding when there is a radial fracture. Depending on the location of the fracture it can potentially involve the TFC or ECU and result in DRUJ instability. This is a review of the types of fractures and potential complications
