Abstract

AbstractAt the quadrangular joint (QAJ) of the carpus, a rare bony protuberance called carpal boss (CB) may occur. This bone abnormality may be due to osteophytes development or os styloideum. Symptomatic patients may complain pain, swelling, and restrictions in hand motion. These symptoms result from joint degenerative‐inflammatory changes, development of ganglion cyst/bursitis, or tendons pathology. Correct diagnosis and appropriate management can be achieved through high‐resolution ultrasonography (HR‐US). The purpose of this review is to define the pathology spectrum around and within the QAJ in CB. The role of HR‐US is highlighted and the standard technique for the QAJ assessment is described.
