Video Summary

Kathy Bithock from Rocky Vista University discusses ultrasound findings related to intersection syndrome in the wrist. Focusing on the first three dorsal wrist compartments, she explains the roles of specific tendons: abductor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis brevis, extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis, and extensor pollicis longus. Key intersections between these compartments are examined using ultrasound, highlighting normal and abnormal findings such as thickened tendons, edema, and tenosynovitis. Intersection syndrome is characterized by fluid in tendon sheaths and thickening, particularly in the EPL tendon.
