Can the Diagnostics of Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Lesions Be Improved by MRI-Based Soft-Tissue Reconstruction? An Imaging-Based Workup and Case Presentation

Figure 4

Segmentation-based three-dimensional reconstruction of the triangular fibrocartilage complex substructures. CU = collateral ulnar ligament; DRT = dorsal radiotriquete ligament; DRU = dorsal radioulnar ligament; L = lunatum; LT = lunotriquetral ligament; P = pisiform; R = radius; T = triquetrum; U = ulna; UT = ulnotriquetrum ligament. (a) Top left: distal view; top right: lateral view; middle left: distal view; middle right: dorsal view; bottom left: dorsal view; bottom right: palmar view. (b) Dorsal view: top, without smoothening; bottom, with smoothening. (c) Entire triangular fibrocartilage complex (arrow). Top left: dorsal view; top right: palmar view; bottom left: lateral view without lunate; bottom right: dorsal view.
