A Case of Trapezium Avascular Necrosis Treated Conservatively

Figure 1

(a) T1-weighted coronal image reveals areas of low signal intensity affecting the trapezium. (b) PD coronal image shows heterogeneous signal intensity with areas of high signal intensity. ((c) and (d)) STIR coronal and axial images reveal increased signal intensity affecting the whole trapezium consistent with hyperemic areas due to repair process and oedema.
