Abstract

Carpal disorders in children are often associated with developmental abnormalities of structures surrounding the wrist. In addition, carpal ossification throughout childhood has unique influences on pediatric carpal injury. Because the immature carpus is composed of unossified cartilage, carpal abnormalities in young children are frequently undetectable on plain radiographs. Clinical suspicion of an abnormality may elicit further imaging with MRI, which can provide detailed information about cartilaginous structures.
