"The wrist and hand are made up of tiny structures and complex representation. In recent years, the interest in managing wrist and hand problems has increased, and specialties have been developed to accommodate this need. Electrodiagnosis is used to diagnose neuromuscular disorders in the wrist and hand, and assists in excluding other conditions that do not originate locally, such as radiculopathy. Point-of-care musculoskeletal ultrasound advocates urge using both tools to evaluate wrist and hand pathology. This leaves us with questions: Is the neuromuscular ultrasound complementary to electrodiagnostic testing in wrist and hand clinical practice? Can musculoskeletal ultrasound change or confirm the EDX findings? Adding both tools to the wrist and hand clinical examination can be of great value in establishing and/or excluding multiple diagnostic findings. While EMG/NCS is the gold standard in testing nerve and muscle integrity, nerve problems can be secondary to musculoskeletal issues. Musculoskeletal ultrasound can help identify the musculoskeletal pathology mimicking peripheral nerve pathology. Speakers will discuss musculoskeletal ultrasound and EMG/NCS basics in common wrist and hand cases. They also will explore the idea of ultrasound as a complementary addition in wrist and hand clinical practice."
