An MRI Arthrogram of the Wrist is a specialized imaging test used to evaluate the wrist joint in detail. It combines contrast injection (gadolinium) directly into the wrist joint followed by an MRI scan. The contrast highlights soft tissues, cartilage, ligaments, and joint spaces, making it easier to detect subtle injuries or abnormalities.

Why is it Done?
An MRI wrist arthrogram is commonly performed to diagnose:

• Ligament tears (e.g., scapholunate ligament tear, TFCC tear)
• Cartilage damage (chondral or osteochondral injuries)
• Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) injuries
• Joint instability or chronic wrist pain
• Wrist fractures with soft tissue involvement
• Post-surgical complications
