Case Discussion
Lunotriquetral coalition is the most frequent type of carpal coalition. It is often bilateral and asymptomatic. It is more common in women.
The ball-catcher view is useful for finding early erosions at the base corners of the proximal phalanges, in arthropathies such as rheumatoid arthritis.
