Abstract

In this dynamic protocol, ultrasound evaluation of the wrist and hand is described using various maneuvers for relevant conditions. Scanning videos are coupled with real-time patient examination videos. The authors believe that this practical guide-prepared by the international consensus of several experts-will help musculoskeletal physicians perform a better and uniform/standard examination approach.
