Complete tear of the proximal metacarpal insertion of the radial collateral ligament of the 2nd MCP joint. During dynamic stress, the gap opens clearly with medio-lateral deviation — but notice how I also compress the recesses to move the joint fluid and accentuate the separation. A perfect example of how real-time ultrasound turns subtle findings into unmistakable ones. 💪📸 #mskrad

🔹 Peripheral ulnar TFCC tear — full-thickness and full-width defect of the deep foveal fibers,
extending proximally and partially involving the styloid fibers ⚡️ 💧 The intraarticular fluid (contrast) beautifully outlines the tear,
opening dynamically as the wrist moves 🔄 🩻 This example follows a CT arthrogram,
but we often create similar joint distension with our own US-guided injections 💉 👁️‍🗨️ Learning to recognize the defect under distension
will train your eye to detect it even without it —
that’s where precision begins 🎯
