Abstract
Lunotriquetral (LT) coalition is the most common carpal coalition. Four morphological types of LT coalition have been described. LT coalition is usually asymptomatic, but rarely a fibrocartilaginous type may cause ulnar wrist pain. We report a case of bilateral asymptomatic LT coalition that was seen incidentally on conventional radiography taken after a wrist injury. Conventional radiography is the first imaging technique to detect and classify this type of LT coalition. Magnetic resonance imaging is a useful tool to investigate possible associated pathology of the carpal joints, particularly if surgical treatment of a symptomatic patient is anticipated.
