Exploring extensor and flexor systems of the wrist and hand *
11:00 AM - 11:45 AMAbstract
This session offers an in-depth exploration of the flexor and extensor tendon compartments at the wrist and hand level. It will cover the topographic anatomy, functional biomechanics, and sonographic appearance of tendon groups within their respective fibro-osseous tunnels. Pathologies such as de Quervain’s tenosynovitis, intersection syndrome, flexor tendon tears, and post-traumatic complications will be analyzed through case-based ultrasound imaging and dynamic assessment techniques.
