Ann R Coll Surg Engl. 2012 Apr;94(3):e121-4. doi: 10.1308/003588412X13171221588730.

Abstract

Case reports detailing diagnosis and effective treatment of pisotriquetral loose bodies are scarce. This article describes an even rarer case of bilateral pisotriquetral joint loose bodies, explores the relative diagnostic roles of magnetic resonance imaging versus computed tomography, and outlines effective strategies used for the management of this condition drawn from the literature and our own experience.
