TFCC- partial tear of styloid attachment towards dorsal aspect with edema
Ulnotriq lig- low grade partial tear
ECU- mildly subluxed and small low-grade split with mild TS
Pre-styloid recess capsular rupture with edema
Median nerve – bifid
Ulnar nerve- ok
UL lig- ok
SL and LT- ok

Hi there,
M34, reports sudden pain 3 months ago tightening some large screws, imaged for persistent pain.
The ulnar attachments of the radioulnar ligaments look edematous to me. There are some edematous and cystic changes also at the ulnar TFCC attachment.
There’s no frank ligament or TFCC rupture. Centrally thin TFCC probably unrelated to his trauma. Also no ECU retinaculum lesion, as far as I can see.
I’m attaching coronal and transversal fatsat scans (PPT). What is your impression?
