into <strong>traumatic<\/strong> and <strong>degenerative<\/strong>, i.e. the result of wear and tear over time. <strong>Traumatic tears<\/strong> are due to direct injury to the wrist and occur mainly in young people, who usually have significant sports activity. <strong>Degenerative tears<\/strong> appear after the age of 40, without a clear history of injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"\u03b4\u03b9\u03ac\u03b3\u03bd\u03c9\u03c3\u03b7\">Diagnosis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3

medical history and physical examination to assess range of motion, stability, and the presence of tenderness in the wrist. Plain radiographs are usually not diagnostic, and MRI is required to confirm the clinical diagnosis. In questionable cases, diagnostic arthroscopy may be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Localized tenderness on the ulnar side<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Positive provocative tests (e.g., ulnar fovea sign, ballotment, piano key sign)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assessment of DRUJ stability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The pain is typically localized over the distal end of the ulna, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe triangular cartilage (fovea sign). It is reproduced in extreme positions of wrist rotation. The reproduction of pain in ulnar deviation is characteristic, as is the piano key sign, where reciprocating pressure on the distal end of the ulna reproduces the symptom. <strong>Comparison with the contralateral healthy wrist<\/strong> is of utmost importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"
