Wrist radiograph (checklist)
The wrist radiograph checklist is just one of the many pathology checklists that can be used when reporting to ensure that you always actively exclude pathology that is commonly missed; this is particularly helpful in the examination setting, e.g. the FRCR 2B rapid-reporting.
Radiograph
Wrist radiographs in an exam setting will have been primarily performed because of a history of pain or trauma.
